This Halloween, you can feel good eating the great tasting treats below from Borba.com. They’re surprisingly healthy and will keep you glowing.

Dark Chocolate has antioxidants that help combat destructive molecules known as free radicals. Free radicals have been implicated in heart disease, aging skin and other ailments nobody desires.

Wine is like a candy for adults. In moderation and as part of an overall healthy diet wine has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers. It has also been known to slow the progression of neurological degenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease.

Almonds have tremendous benefits due to their high vitamin content. Renowned new age prophet, Edgar Cayce even said that eating two almonds a day, will keep cancer away. This theory has yet to be tested, however, almonds are delicious, nutritious and keep you from reaching for the candy bowl. If you have a sweet tooth, try dark chocolate covered almonds.

Chocolate covered strawberries can help in two ways. One satisfies your chocolate craving, while the other provides the benefit of a healthy fruit loaded with vitamins.

Don’t feel bad about eating any of the items listed above, as they give you the excuse to indulge responsibly, because they provide healthy benefits. Have a safe and fun Halloween!
