Halloween Haunts for the Weekend

Happy October 29!

 

Today is National Oatmeal Day and also National Stroke Day. Conveniently enough, a healthy diet, of which oatmeal can be a part, can help reduce the risk of stroke.

 

Here are 13 recipes from The Food Network for preparing oatmeal a variety of ways. 

 

According to the World Stroke Organization, 1 in 4 of us could have a stroke in our lifetime, so it’s important to develop a lifestyle to reduce risk factors. According to the WSO, “Up to 90% of strokes could be prevented by addressing a small number of risk factors, including hypertension, diet, smoking and exercise”. Learn more here. 

 

This weekend is Halloween, and if you are looking for something fun to do, there are plenty of family-friendly haunted and/or spooky attractions around the area.

 

In Vancouver, Holidays on Franklin Street has a spook-tacular drive by or walk up experience. Saturday night features appearances by Jack Skellington from “Nightmare before Christmas”. More info here,
