Don’t Let Diabetes Dampen Your Diwali

  • 02 Nov 2018
  • #Diabetes
  • #Diwali

Choose Your Ingredients Wisely

Consider preparing your sweets at home. Avoid using maida (flour). Instead, use healthier ingredients like whole wheat flour (atta) or gram flour (besan), along with nuts, seeds, and dried fruits.

Avoid Deep Fried Foods And Do Not Re-Use Oil

When preparing sweets, replace refined oil with ghee, as ghee is rich in healthy fats. Do not re-use oil as this creates free radicals that can cause acidity and clog your arteries. Also restrict your consumption of deep-fried foods that can raise your cholesterol levels and lead to heart disease, especially for diabetics.

Stay Mindful Of Your Portion Size

Keeping a check on your portion size is crucial as it will prevent increased blood sugar levels that result from overeating. Additionally, stick to eating foods with a low glycemic index, i.e., items that contain whole food ingredients, like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.

Say No To Sugar

A Diwali without sugar can seem disappointing. The good news, however, is that companies today pack special sugar free sweets for diabetics. Grab a pack of those if you are craving sugary sweets.

Go For A Walk

This Diwali, supplement your delicious diet with a little exercise. Exercising will give you an energy boost and will also help burn all the additional calories that come with eating sweets.

Sweet Tooth? Grab A Fruit

Balance your meals by adding fresh fruits to your festive diet. Fruits rich in fibre especially, such as bananas and apples, will help your digestive system stay healthy and keep common stomach problems at bay.
