Lighten up on the sugar
You don’t have to stop yourself from
digging into sweets. Just choose these low-fat options for a healthy time No
festival is complete without mithai. But sweets are loaded with calories, oil
and sugar syrup, making it hard to bounce back to health after the festival
season. Make the right choices to avoid weight and other health hazards.
Use low-fat ingredients and natural sweet
substitutes to make healthier desserts like apple smoothie, carrot kheer, fruit
custard.
There are some delicious sweets made of anjeer, dates and raisins – good sugars that are also good for you. Use saffron to flavour your mithai. Saffron helps with insomnia, indigestion, flatulence, asthma, cough, menstrual cramps and vomiting.
Use besan to make ladoos. Its protein content controls blood sugar and cholesterol. Besan also has one of the lowest glycemic indices among all foods.
At parties, avoid sweets rich in ghee and butter. Substitute them with healthier, low-calorie alternatives, sweets made with yoghurts or dark chocolate. Some Indian sweets, which are rich in nuts and seeds, are good news for you – good fats and calories, protein, minerals, antioxidants and fibre.
There’s temptation in the air, here’s how to stay sweet and safe!
Go easy on the artificial sweeteners
Do not overdose on sweets made with artificial sweeteners because they may still be rich in fat. Limit cooking oil
Try baking, not deep-frying your food. If you can avoid oily food every day, you can avoid it during the festive season.
