Holi marks the arrival of a season of hope, myriad colours and good harvests and is one of the most revered festivals of India. Holi also means a mix of family get-togethers and visits, which means binging on unhealthy snacks and sweets that in the long run can have a significant impact on one’s health. During the festivities, it’s easy to let go and lose track of one’s food intake, and overindulge in sweets and comfort food. This year, let’s replace unwholesome or calorie laden food with almonds and plan for a healthier Holi. Being a quintessential Indian festival, Holi is that time when people indulge in music and an array of traditional food. With festivities abuzz and many get-togethers, it is also important to be mindful of one’s health and diet. So, this Holi, loved ones can be gifted with the blessings of almonds to spread joy and good health.
Almonds are nutritious and healthy, and can easily be incorporated in the Holi festivities. Almonds can be gifted to theloved ones for their journey to better health, according to Regional Head-Dietetics, Max Delhi Ritika Samaddar, leading Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan, well-known Fitness and Celebrity instructor Yasmin Karachiwala, Nutrition and Wellness Consultant Sheela Krishnaswamy and Madhuri Ruia (Pilates Expert, and Diet & Nutrition Consultant).
