Tips for Going Natural & Healthy this Halloween, While Still Keeping it Fun

7c8e18_49e5d28bccf54154bdc949eeac3a3302

MIAMI, Florida – (October 3, 2016) – According to the National Retail Federation, roughly $7 billion will be spent on the Halloween season. A good portion of that money will go to candy purchases, which will be given away to the tens of millions of trick-or-treaters who take to the community streets and neighborhood parties. Armed with a bag full of candy, many parents worry about whether or not their child is getting a sugar overload as this yearly holiday makes its way through their home. The good news is that there are ways that people can help make Halloween more natural and healthy.

“Halloween is an exciting time for kids, so the last thing we want to do is take away their fun,” explains Dr. Bruno Sharp, a fourth-generation dentist who created a line of products called Dr. Sharp Natural Oral Care, and is celebrating his 10th year as a Natural Oral Care provider. “We can still keep it fun and yet make it healthier. Most kids may not even realize that parents took steps to make it more natural.”

Dr. Sharp offers these tips for going natural and healthy this Halloween:

  • Prior to Halloween, visit your dentist to have sealants put onto your kids’ teeth to seal and protect the enamel grooves, avoiding dental decay.
  • Give your children a good nutritious meal before they go trick-or-treating. Mashed pumpkin is rich in vitamin A and a great snack. If they are not hungry while trick-or-treating, they will be less likely to try and fill up on empty calories and sugar.
  • Try to avoid all unnecessary sugar that day. That way, if they do have a few treats later, they won’t run the risk of overdosing on sweets.
  • Instruct your children not to eat any treats until they bring them home to be examined by you.
  • Supervise your children to have their teeth brushed and flossed immediately after consuming Halloween candy and right before bed.
  • Parents who are handing out treats to trick-or-treaters or donating snacks for parties should opt for non-sugary foods, such as individual bags of crackers, granola bars, or fruit leather.
  • Encourage kids to walk when they are trick-or-treating, so they get some exercise as they gather their treats.
  • Make sure your children use high quality, natural non-fluoride toothpaste.
  • If your child gets a large amount of candy, encourage them to keep half of it and donate the other half to a shelter, sell it to a dentist office candy buy-back, or give it to one of the organizations that sends it to U.S. troops overseas.

“Healthier Halloweens are not only simple to do, but your child will grow accustomed to them and it will become the norm,” added Dr. Sharp. “You will be helping them establish healthy habits that will last a lifetime.”

Dr. Sharp Natural Oral Care product line includes children’s toothpaste, adult toothpaste, fresh mint mouthwash, and dental tape. All products are safe to use, made in the USA, and are metal free, gluten-free, have no artificial colors or flavors, are vegan, non-GMO, alcohol-free, fluoride-free, paraben-free and cruelty-free. Plus, they help whiten teeth and have xylitol, which is a natural sweetener that also helps to fight off cavities. The products are safe for the entire family.

7 Tips for Picking the Finest French Restaurants within Your Area

Restaurant in Paris with menu. Shallow depth of field with focus on the nearside of the menu. Tables, chairs and customers blurred.

When you desire to have French cuisine, you must look for restaurants that serve French foods. The restaurants you visit will definitely determine the quality of food that you will enjoy. Thus, you must be very cautious when picking these eateries. Instead of relying on home deliveries, use the following tips to get the finest restaurants that are located close to your home.

Variety of cuisines

There are several French cuisines and it is imperative to find a restaurant that is preparing a wide variety of dishes. If you are interested in taking more of the available French cuisines, cafeterias offering a wider variety of them will be the best choice. You will have the advantage of satisfying your cravings by tasting every existing type. Hence go for a cafeteria that offers a wide selection of foods.

Expertise of chefs

The people responsible for preparing the food in the cafeteria are the chefs. In fact, the quality of the cuisines will depend on the level of expertise the chefs have. The chef must have mastered the art of cooking the French foods. It is not necessary for them to be French citizens since any interested individual can acquire the skills of preparing their cuisines. Check several eateries Every available restaurant is distinct in its own way. That is the reason why they end up offering quality services and foods to their clientele. This makes it mandatory for you to examine several eateries in order to identify the perfect one for you. While assessing them, consider the types of food they cook and their commitment to quality. Select the one that appeals most to you.

Reviews are the most effective resources when trying to find the most fascinating restaurant retailing French food nearby. The past customers of these cafeterias normally share their experiences through reviews. It is via the reviews that you will know the competency of the personnel of the eateries in making the finest French cuisines. Preferences The cafeteria should meet your tastes and preferences too. You will only enjoy visiting and dining in that restaurant if it seems remarkable to you. Ask yourself what you feel about the restaurant and be genuine about it.

Ask yourself what you feel about the restaurant and be genuine about it. If the eatery does not meet your standards, it is necessary to avoid it. Only go for what you like. Regardless of your feelings, prioritize the need to have good food.

Comfort

Part of having a great dining experience is maintaining a higher level of comfort. If the cafeteria is not comfortable, taking time to enjoy your food will be unbearable. The comfort of a hotel is based on its internal and external environment. The facilities fixed within the hotel like seats and the tables will influence your level of comfort. Get a restaurant that secures your comfort.

Cost

It is advisable to go to a restaurant that charges reasonable prices for their foods. You will always be spending your money in order to take these cuisines. If the foods are expensive, it will be hard for you to satisfy your cravings when you are under a tight budget. It is significant to keep off from those cafeterias that overprice their cuisines.

Visualize Your Future

visionboard

Our mind is a powerful tool that works for us in many ways. Many successful people from the POTUS, CEO’s, airline pilots and even our most honored athletes competing in the Olympics have learned the skill of visualization. To say that they learned it, is an understatement, they have mastered it! I am going to share with you an activity you can do to get your powerful tool engaged. Let’s start with something simple, make a vision board. Simple right? For those of you who don’t know what a vision board is, let me explain. A vision board is what you create by placing all the things you desire onto a poster board where you can visually see your dreams. You will need a few supplies to get your vision board started. Most of these supplies you may already have.

– Poster board
– A stack of different types of magazines ~ Personal Photos ~ Images from the internet
– Glue/Glue stick. (Now if you are really crafty you can get really fancy with it and use glitter, markers, ribbons, etc.)

Suggestions to get you started:

– Set aside about an hour to complete your vision board.
– Create a relaxing atmosphere.
– Sit quietly and set the intent. Ask yourself: What it is you want? What is the life you want to live?
– Cut out images that represent the life you envision.
– Place the photo of yourself in the middle of the board or your most sought after goal.

Once you have all your material arranged on the board the way you like it, glue. Take a picture of your vision board and use as your screen saver, place it somewhere you can see it daily.
