Healthy Diabetic-Friendly Diwali: Tips
Diwali is one of the Hindu festivals where all people from different age groups get excited to celebrate it. Crackers, lighting and decorations make this Hindu festival very special. However, what adds charm to Diwali or any other festival is the sweets.
Lots of delicacies are prepared during Diwali to celebrate the festival with joy. Even special Diwali sweets are prepared as a festival is incomplete without a sweet tooth!
So a variety of sweets is a treat to the eyes and taste buds. However, diabetics are the ones who lag behind in this. And it is because if they eat lots of sugar and other artificial sweeteners, their blood sugar levels will take a toll on their health. So, diabetics need to practice an exercise of self-control for celebrating a healthy Diwali.
It is next to impossible to enjoy any Hindu festival without some lip smacking sweets. So, Boldsky has come up with some healthy tips for diabetics that they should follow during Diwali celebrations. These are simple tips to have a diabetic-friendly and a healthy Diwali. For instance, instead of adding sugar, add sweetness to your dishes by using natural sweeteners like raisins and honey. Similarly, getting a blood test done before Diwali is another safe way to have a healthy diabetic-friendly Diwali. Check out how to celebrate even after having the most common Indian health problem, diabetes!
Tips For A Healthy Diabetic-Friendly Diwali:
Control Calorie Intake
High calories are not just bad for diabetics but even for heart patients. As it is a festival time, lots of oily and rich foods will be prepared. Control the intake of such foods and try to stick to your diabetes diet. Less calories in the body will allow the sweets to digest easily as well.
Avoid Artificial Sweeteners
Artificial sweeteners are very harmful for the diabetics. For a healthy Diwali, diabetics must avoid artificial sweeteners and flavourings completely. Opt for natural sweeteners like honey.
Healthy Fats
Monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats and omega 3 fats can lower your blood sugar levels. Opt for healthy fats like flax seeds, salmon, tuna and green salads.
Do Not Miss Bitter Juice
Sometimes you might end up having half a sweet extra. So, do not miss the juices of bitter gourd or neem to balance sugar levels in the body.
Opt For Sugar-Free Sweets
As you cannot skip sweets completely, it is best to eat sugar-free sweets which will not be harmful.
Workout
Do not miss your exercise at any cost. Weight control is one of the best ways to control diabetes and stay healthy as well.
Get A Blood Test
This is another important tip for celebrating a diabetic-friendly Diwali. The blood test will let you know what your actions should be.
Control Servings
Do not hog like a gluten simply because of varieties and aroma. Keep a control on your diet so that it doesn't affect your health later.
