While Diwali is the perfect opportunity to attend multiple get-togethers and eat to your heart's content, it is also important to choose the festive food mindfully.
The countdown to Diwali has begun and after following two years of Covid restrictions, people are looking forward to celebrating the festival with all their near and dear ones. While it is the perfect opportunity to attend multiple get-togethers and eat to one's heart's content, it is also important to choose the festive food mindfully if one wants to avoid health issues and sudden weight gain. The good news is there is no dearth of healthy Indian sweets that one could have without feeling guilty. Sugar and maida are two ingredients that can cause inflammation in the body which can increase your chances of chronic diseases. Have high-protein and high-fibre mithais and sweeten your Diwali delights with natural alternatives. Also, never go overboard. The key is to consume everything in moderation.
Nutritionist Bhuvan Rastogi who regularly busts nutrition myths and educates his followers about holistic well-being recently took to Instagram to talk about healthy sweets one can eat this Diwali.
"Who can resist sweets when the festive season comes rolling around? But the conflict between sticking to your fitness goals and having a little bit of fun can put a dampener on your spirits. But not if you choose the right kind of sweets and stick to the basics of meal planning. That way you can still have fun without going overboard," says Rastogi.
