We are in the middle of October; only two weeks left until my favorite holiday, HALLOWEEN!
Here are some "Halloweeny" tips to keep in mind for the rest of the month:
Did you know? Pumpkins are low in calories and PACKED with Vitamin A?
They also have Vitamin C, potassium, and fiber!
How to eat them: Roast them with the skins on, heat and mash your orange fruit, or make it into a yummy pie or soup!
You can also roast the seeds inside, which are especially delicious with the added benefits of being full of iron, magnesium, and protein.
You can either click the links above of how you want to cook your pumpkin, Google pumpkin recipes, or click this link for 100 Pumpkin Recipes!
Mmmmm. There is nothing better than a huge pile of candy after Trick-or-Treatin'!
However , your dentist disagrees due to the likelihood of you developing cavities, and you'll probably feel that way too after a visit to him.
Here are some great Halloween treat eating tips from the American Dental Association:
Eat candy with meals!
The excess saliva produced while eating helps rinse away the sugars and food particles, preventing them from lingering in your mouth for too long.
Stay clear of hard, sticky, or gummy candies.
They sit on your teeth which exposes them to acids that cause tooth decay.
Drink lots and lots of water (we already knew that health tip, right?)
Water flushes the food debris away and most likely the water you drink has the added benefit of fluoride, which is a tooth protector!

Exercise of the Week: BURPEES!
This is just one part of the exercise routine which will keep you looking toned and HOT for your sexy little Halloween costume this year
- Start with your feet shoulder-width apart, squat, then put your hands on the floor in front of your feet (see image A)
- Hop your feet back into a push-up position (see image B)
- Do one push-up, then hop onto your feet again like in image A
- Jump up and raise your arms over your head
- Repeat this rep 6 times!
Most of the other routines involve a kettle-ball, but if you go to a gym, you'll be sure to find one!
This week's exercise routine was brought to you by SHAPE.
