Nutritionists Recommend Healthier Mithai Options for Diwali CelebrationsPreviousNext

Ahead of Diwali, nutritionists Anjali Mukerjee and Lovneet Batra shared insights on healthier festive sweets. Mukerjee recommends besan ladoos sweetened with dates for their low glycemic index and load, suitable for people managing diabetes. Batra ranked popular mithais, rating phirni and rasgulla higher due to their lighter preparation and lower sugar content, while fried sweets like jalebi and gulab jamun scored lower. Both emphasize mindful consumption and holistic health during celebrations.
