Trick AND Treat:

How to Have a Hormone-Healthy Halloween

Have a Healthy Halloween: Trick AND Treat

October 29th, 2012

Halloween is a time when sugar and candy are running rampant, overshadowing the real lure and mischief of the holiday. If you find yourself being drawn to the sweet treats, you might be lacking in the trickery and mischief.
All the “being good” pressure that we put on ourselves is enough to make anyone rebel – and understandably so! When you don’t allow yourself to break the rules or playfully be “bad,” your mischievousness can emerge in a self-sabatoging way. Which is why the “treat” tends to overshadow the “trick” during Halloween.

Have a Heathy Halloween!

On your path to hormonal balance, it’s not about being perfect with what you eat and how you care for your female body. It’s about making informed decisions for your body, while honoring your feelings and emotions. If your “badness” is coming out in the form of poor food choices that are affecting your health, it’s time to make some shifts! 

Wouldn’t it be more fun and satisfying to find other outlets of mischief that don’t leave you feeling gross or guilty or sad?
Halloween is the perfect time to concoct ways to create fun, harmless mischief in your everyday life. 
Here are some ideas you can try:

• call out sick to work to spend a day in bed
• don’t wear underwear for a day (or longer)
• whistle back at the construction workers

And if you want to indulge in a sweet treat or two, make healthy choices and enjoy every minute of it
Try:

• high quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa content)
• baked apples with cinnamon and ginger
• natural sweeteners like agave, stevia, and coconut sugar

In other words, choose to trick AND treat!
