Halloween in Eugene is full of creativity, community, and of course candy. While it’s a time to have fun and indulge a little, it’s also a great opportunity to stay mindful of your health. With a few smart swaps and simple practices, you can enjoy all the spooky festivities and feel your best.
Here are a few Evergreen Nutrition-approved tips to keep your Halloween happy, healthy, and balanced this year.
1. Healthier Halloween Treats
You don’t have to skip the sweets, just choose options that are easier on your body (and your kids’ tummies).
🍬 Try these swaps:
-
Choose candies made with organic ingredients and no artificial dyes or corn syrup.
-
Look for dark chocolate or honey-based treats for a less processed option.
-
Make your own homemade goodies with natural sweeteners like maple syrup or coconut sugar.
💚 Check out Evergreen’s selection of immune gummies, multivitamins, and healthy snacks to help balance the sugar rush.
2. Costume Comfort: Dress for the Oregon Weather
October in Eugene means chilly nights and possible rain, not ideal for thin costumes. Stay comfortable while trick-or-treating or attending events by:
-
Layering thermals under costumes
-
Choosing waterproof shoes
-
Keeping cozy accessories like gloves or scarves on hand
A warm, comfortable costume means a happier, healthier night out.
3. Keep Immunity Strong
Between cooler weather, crowded events, and all that sugar, your immune system deserves a little support. Try:
-
Vitamin C and D3 to strengthen defenses
-
Elderberry or zinc lozenges to stay resilient
-
Probiotics to keep gut health balanced after sweets
Evergreen Nutrition carries a variety of natural immune boosters for both adults and kids, so you can stay well through Halloween and beyond.
4. Detox and Reset After the Treats
Once the festivities wind down, support your body’s natural detox pathways:
-
Drink extra water (with lemon or trace minerals)
-
Try a castor oil pack or herbal detox tea to support digestion and lymphatic flow
-
Focus on nourishing, whole foods in the days following
