Halloween incorporates tons of sweet treats into its spooky holiday.
Americans collect around 3.4 pounds of candy each year on Halloween night, according to The Economic Times.
Although it may be tempting, consuming excessive amounts of candy can lead to health issues such as weight gain, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. These consequences will not happen overnight, but they can occur if such habits remain a trend.
Exercising is an important factor in maintaining physical health, as it efficiently burns off sugar and calories. Therefore, regular involvement in physical activity serves as a great solution for those who wish to celebrate the holiday of sweet treats, while prioritizing their health.
Students should be aware of the health risks that candy can cause, and work toward the prevention of such issues from occurring.
Cut candy and begin researching personalized fitness activities.
