Gillette’s Dietitians Wish You a Happy (and Healthy) Halloween
Halloween is a day for pumpkin carving, costumes and, of course, for candy. In October’s guest post from Gillette dietitians Karri Larson and Stephanie Campbell, here are some parenting tips for ramping up the ‘healthy’ factor in a sugar-filled holiday, from healthy halloween food to what to do with all that halloween candy. “It’s important to remember that Halloween is just one day of the year,” says Larson. “Make it fun and festive for your kids — but don’t let it become a season!”
• Let your kids choose a few favorite pieces of halloween candy, then donate the leftovers to a military organization, Meals on Wheels, a children or women’s shelter, or nursing home. Some dentist offices will even take candy.
• Offer to buy your kids’ candy if they have a hard time parting with it. Offer them $0.10 or $0.25 a piece, or another reward that will entice them.
• It’s never a good idea to go grocery shopping on an empty stomach. Similarly, it’s a bad idea for trick-or-treating! Send your kids off with a full stomach of good food from a well balanced meal.
• Give out Halloween candy alternatives like spooky-themed stickers, fun pencils, or pre-packaged popcorn, pretzels, or packs of gum.
• Give your kids a time limit for trick-or-treating, or allow them to trick-or-treat just in your local neighborhood.
• To take the focus off candy, play fun spooky games or watch a kid-friendly Halloween movie after trick-or-treating.
From all of us at Gillette, have a safe and happy Halloween!

It’s my opinion that a home foreclosure can have a major effect on the applicant’s life. House foreclosures can have a 8 to ten years negative effect on a debtor’s credit report. A borrower having applied for home financing or virtually any loans as an example, knows that your worse credit rating can be, the more tough it is to obtain a decent mortgage. In addition, it might affect any borrower’s capacity to find a respectable place to lease or rent, if that gets the alternative property solution. Thanks for your blog post.
Dear Katie, I’m sorry to hear that your doctor produced a mistake and put you on Depo injections. You say that you are nonetheless obtaining injections? These injections are produced from progestin, a synthetic form of progesterone which is used mainly as a method of birth control for ladies who cannot use any other form of birth control. One of the drug’s side effects is weight gain. A single injection lasts for three months. So should you are nonetheless finding these injections, please, please, tell your doctor which you don’t want to receive them any longer. The effects of the drug will remain inside your body for three months, so during these three months, it may be difficult to shed the added weight which you gained, no matter what you do. There are other far more gentler ways to regulate your periods and menses, specially at your tender formative age. Here are some of the negative reasons for not using Depo-Provera: it can cause decreased bone density which can lead to osteoporosis, depression, increased blood clots, liver damage, headaches, hair loss, leg cramps, nervousness, dizziness, abdominal bloating, and weight gain. For your stretch marks on your stomach, you are able to rub some vitamin E on them. Just puncture a capsule of vitamin E and gently apply to your stomach location once or twice each day. The stretch marks will respond towards the vitamin E if you use it regularly and use it as soon as they appear. The older the stretch marks, the longer and more difficult they are to rub away. It truly is finest to use natural vitamin E, which can be distinguished from the synthetic form by the following small print and notations on the vitamin bottle: d- will be the natural form, and dl- could be the synthetic form. Use only the d- form which may be the natural form. I feel that synthetic substances have caused enough harm already, and need to be laid to rest. Discover a doctor who will listen to you, have patience until the Depo drug gets out of your system and body, and continue follow a healthy diet and exercise regimen to get back to your former weight. Please read the posts above to learn a lot more about dieting. Good luck.
