Eid Sweets and Your Health: How to Strike a Balance

Hey there sweet tooths! From the delightful seviyan to melt-in-your-mouth rasmalai, this festive season offers endless temptations in the form of yummy treats!

But of course, while feasting is a great way to spread joy during Eid, it’s also important to remember that too much of something isn’t good for anyone – and that goes for Eid sweets too! That’s why it’s important to know how to strike a balance between eating what you like and making sure you stay healthy. 

Start by asking yourself if you really want to indulge in those fatty goodies, and then take a look at the nutritional value of what you’re about to eat. Some Eid sweets contain excessive amounts of ghee and sugar, which isn’t really a good choice for someone who’s watching their health. 

Let Us Help You!

So, to satisfy your cravings while maintaining a balanced diet, here are a few ideas that can help:

• Reduce portion sizes of traditional sweets and savories – even the small “taste” or “tea-time” sizes are a healthier option. The more sweets you eat, the less likely you are to be consuming the essential nutrients from other food groups that are needed for proper nutrition. Therefore, rather than filling up your plate with several sweet dishes, opt for fewer and smaller portions

• Eat smaller, frequent meals, and enjoy the feast with everyone but practice mindful eating. Rather than having one big plate full of food, try getting several smaller plates or taking out a few items to enjoy.

• Enjoy desserts, but have a look at the ingredients and opt for items that have less-calorie and light sugar content. 

• Use healthier ingredients and recipes to recreate some of your favorite sweets. 

• Make sure you drink lots of water throughout the day and keep hydrated – and of course, get regular physical activity to balance the sugar intake!

By implementing some of these tips, you can still enjoy Eid without having to sacrifice your health! So, make the most of this special occasion without piling on the guilt. And with that, enjoy Eid, eat healthy and have a sweet time!
