Rujuta Diwekar, India`s leading nutrition and exercise science expert clearly mentions on her social forums about consuming native sweets for Diwali. She says eating sweets oriented to Indian tradition is always healthy, hands down for all considering other so called healthy western options. Rujuta insist on adapting the food style that largely resembles the tradition and lifestyle adaptable for the region we live in.
Modern times tag the Indian origin sweets as unhealthy and go for westernized options such as processed and baked foods. Laddus, Adhirasam. Gulab Jamun, Barfis and other Diwali snacks can be consumed in moderation without believing any kind of prejudice myths. One should never calculate calories in the times of festival mood. Get on with the celebration and enjoy your Diwali with sweets says the celebrity diet expert.
We underestimate the preparatory methods of our origin in terms of Diwali snacks. If it is prepared with the original forms of ingredients passed on from the older generation then people need not give any kind of second thought for enjoying the snacks. Rujuta informs us the fact that replacing native sweets with cakes and chocolate is very dangerous and may destroy the pure vibes on Diwali.
Rujuta emphasizes the food heritage and culture value of these Diwali snacks must be passed on to the next generation without any form of westernized change over or diverted preparations. Dairy and chocolate industries will always fund mass media to pass misinform people about native sweets and snacks. So keep yourself away from the processed and packaged junk. Homemade Diwali sweets are always healthy and do not need any kind of western certification or study to prove the health factors.
Home-made sweets are prepared with coconut, ghee, pulses, millets, nuts and other spices originated from our land. It will reset the sugar digestion capability of our body stabilizing the blood sugar. Eating those sweets with moderation is always recommended irrespective of age and function of your body. Traditional preparation will always ensure the safe health factor and do not have a food guilt while eating our own traditional sweets and snacks. The guilt is the sole reason for any kind of negative reaction and not the food. All native and regional food has some kind of energy and vibes along with it. And so viewing it on a wrong attitude with acquired knowledge is not a clever thing. Embrace our tradition and enjoy this Diwali with sweets with compassion and joyousness.
