๐ฌ๐ DRCโs Top Halloween Candy Swaps! ๐๐ฌ
Halloween is such a fun and memorable time for kids โ but it can also be one of the biggest sugar overloads of the year. The average child consumes three cups of sugar just on Halloween night! ๐ณ Thatโs nearly 200 times the recommended daily limit.
Hereโs why that matters ๐
Excess sugar, artificial dyes, and chemical additives can overstimulate a childโs nervous system, making it harder for their body to regulate emotions, focus, sleep, and even digestion. We often see this show up as meltdowns, mood swings, hyperactivity, or difficulty settling down after all the excitement.
At Deep Rooted Chiropractic, we believe in supporting the bodyโs ability to adapt โ not just survive the sugar rush. Thatโs why we love choosing cleaner swaps that are lower in sugar, free from artificial dyes, and made with ingredients that are easier for the body to process. ๐ฟ
Swipe โก๏ธ to see our favorite swaps for popular candies like Skittles, Reeseโs, and Nerds!
These alternatives still taste fun and festive โ just without the overload on your childโs nervous system.

Hereโs to a Halloween thatโs full of joy, not jitters. ๐ง โจ
