Have snacks between breakfast and lunch The problem with eating dishes or sweets is when we consume too much of one of them. This happens when we feel very hungry, says Dr. Anu Aggarwal.
To avoid this, plan frequent meals. Like you can eat something between breakfast and lunch. This will keep you from feeling too hungry until lunch time. During this period, you can eat any fruit as a snack.
Plan your lunch and dinner smartly During Diwali, lunch or dinner is held with family and friends. Some of the dishes served here are very high in calories. In such a situation you can start the meal with a salad. After this, eat something protein rich like dal or paneer with roti or rice. Do not forget to take curd or buttermilk with food. It is a good source of probiotics. With its help, food will be easy to digest.
Take care of hydration During Diwali, people usually stay up late and party. Staying up late at night and eating too much sugary or fatty food can cause dehydration. It can cause problems of acidity and headaches. So make sure you have a water bottle with you during this time and drink water throughout the day. Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water throughout the day.
Prepare sweets and recipes at home
- In the month of October-November, the milk production of cattle decreases.
- Cattle farmers reduce milk sales to make sweets at home.
- The demand of milk for making sweets is increasing in the market.
- During the festive season, the demand for sweets increases manifold.
So, when there is no supply, sweets start mixing. A lot of sugar is also added to increase the sweetness and reduce the cost.
This can be extremely harmful to our health. So, it is better that you prepare sweets and dishes at your own home.
