Just for Hearts TM Your Trusted Wellness Partner Dr.Tejas Limaye M.Sc. PhD RD Clinical nutritionist Just for Hearts [email protected] Editorial Very common scenario in a clinic of a doctor or a nutritionist or at a gym POST DIWALI : Lot of crowd, most of them seeking to lose weight gained during Diwali, many are for restoring uncontrolled blood sugar, blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels. Is this a definition of celebration and enjoyment at any festival? Certainly NOT. Diwali is a festival of lights; it is definitely not meant for ruining one's health. Where are things going wrong? In the good old days, the faral items were made only once in a year and due to large family size, one used to get only a small share. The activity levels were high too. Things have changed upside down. We have started living in nuclear families, home cooking has started diminishing, we have started buying readymade, packaged food, faral items are available round the year and activity levels are almost equal to zero.Though we are eating faral items at times other than Diwali, the festival time multiplies the intake by many folds! Result is weight gain, uncontrolled blood sugars, high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels. Can this picture be changed? Yes!! Small steps at a time. We can start preparing faral items at home, with some variations and healthier ingredients, healthier cooking methods. We can learn portion control, we can compensate for higher calorie intake by being more active. This Diwali Special issue of HealThy Life brings plethora of such quick tips to make your Diwali healthy and happy in a true sense. Try them out, try healthier alternatives suggested for traditional faral items. Let us know your feedback. Authors have done their best! Salute to their innovativeness!!

Don't skip exercise; it is important when we are consuming more calories. 6. BE- a health conscious host! 7. Never turn up for a Diwali party on an empty stomach. 8.

Arti Balse improved by using healthier substitutes BSc (Nutrition), PG Diploma (Dietetics), RD. Consulting Dietitian and freelancer to some traditionally used ingredients.” [email protected] 1. Use alternatives to Maida: whole wheat flour, bhajani flour made with dry roasted millets. 2. Avoid using Dalda/ Vanaspati. Ghee used in limited amount is a better option. 3. Adding nuts like walnuts, almonds, pistachios and seeds like chia, flax seeds, melon seed, Garden cresse seeds(Aleev) makes faral healthy. 4. Soluble fibres from Gondh (popped in a popcorn maker/ roasted with a little ghee) improves the nutritional quality. 5. Add roasted and powdered oats flour while making laddoos. It improves the fibre content and reduces the glycaemic index of the sweet dish. 6. Avoid using the same oil for frying again and again. Use small quantity of oil at a time and discard the oil when it becomes dark and thick in consistency. 4. Dt. Deepti V. Saudagar “Try these modified recipes to make BHsc and MHSc (Food Science & Nutrition) faral guilt free!” Freelancer Involved in calorie estimation of menu for schools (Aditya Birla world academy) Mumbai [email protected] 1) Besan laddu- can be a good snack for kids after outdoor sports. To make them healthier you can use jaggery or desi shakkar. 2) Chakli – Can be made with different ingredients like ragi flour, rice flour, whole wheat flour, bajra flour, moong flour. It can be baked instead of frying. 3) Shankarpali- whole wheat flour can substitute maida or even you can use half maida and half wheat flour. If you use ghee, it will absorb more fat while frying. Oil can be used instead. 4) Karanji- Baked karanji can be a healthier option. Stuffing can be made from dates and roasted poppy seeds with NO added sugar. 6 HealThy Be Better You!
