The Easter Bunny is guaranteed to bring all things sweet and delicious. But he also brings a recipe for extra weight (and possibly extra pain!) on your spine. This year, why not try adding a healthy spin to those Easter baskets? Your back health is likely to thank you for it. But don’t worry, you can still get your chocolate fix, we promise!

Here are some health-giving ideas from our team at Witney Chiropractic Clinic.

1: Chocolate Covered Fruit

This is a great way to indulge in chocolate and get a healthy dose of fruit at the same time. Dipping whole strawberries, grapes or bananas in melted chocolate is our favourite! For an extra crunch, roll the fruit in almonds, walnuts or pistachios. Delicious!

2: Dark Chocolate

The darker the chocolate, the brighter the health benefits. When buying your Easter treats, look for chocolate that contains at least 70% cocoa. This ingredient has been shown to help reduce blood pressure and lower the risk of heart disease.

3: Carrot Treats

We know that carrots are not quite as tempting as chocolate, but the Easter Bunny loves them! Wrap a few carrot sticks in yellow ribbon and add them to your Easter basket of treats.

Here’s to your healthiest Easter yet!
