Diwali brings not just sweets but also Poori, Samosa, spicy snacks, and Murukku. You increase your total carbohydrate intake when you eat these along with sweets.
You must maintain balance on your food plate to avoid this.
You should add fiber-rich vegetables to your diet. You can include protein foods like dal, lentils, paneer, eggs, or meat in the right amounts. You must eat carbohydrate foods like rice, chapati, and potatoes in planned quantities. You should consume fried foods like Samosa and Poori in moderation.
You should not think that only sweets contain carbohydrates that affect sugar levels. Foods like rice, roti, and potatoes also impact your blood sugar levels.
4. Keep An Eye On Sweet Drinks
Many people drink cold drinks, fruit juices, sugary beverages, and sharbat along with sweets during Diwali.
The sugar in these drinks can also increase your blood glucose levels. Your total sugar intake shoots up when you combine sugary drinks with sweets.
You should choose water mostly. You must give priority to drinks without added sugar. You should read the nutrition labels on store-bought drinks. You must not drink unlimited fruit juice just because it is natural.
