Whether you are 5 or 55, chances are when you think Halloween you
think candy. There isn’t anything overtly healthy in the typical
trick-or-treater’s stash. However, the holiday comes once a year
and if you are deliberating between candies, we thought it would be
helpful to know what you’re eating! Keep in mind, even the ‘best
bets’ become ‘horrific’ when eaten daily or in quantities
far beyond those specified.

A pedometer is a digital device that senses body motion and counts
footsteps. This count is converted into a distance by knowing the
length of your average stride. When you walk or hike your pedometer
will tell you how far you've gone by tracking the distance. If you
go to the gym and are virtually sedentary for the rest of the day
the pedometer will help you increase your general activity level.
And if you aren’t an avid exerciser at all, a pedometer can be
worn throughout the day to record your total daily steps. More steps
translate into more calories burned. Researches recommend taking 10,000
steps per day. Continue increasing your steps each week by 10% to
20% until you reach 10,000 steps per day.
