Cardiologist and functional medicine expert Dr. Alok Chopra had explained in an Instagram post that says, "This Diwali, redefine indulgence. Health isn't about cutting joy -- it's about choosing better joy. From A2 ghee laddus to antioxidant-packed bites, let your celebrations reflect true abundance -- inside and out." Translation: you can enjoy sweets without fueling a sugar hangover.
Market boondi laddu? No, go for Homemade besan laddu.
Skip the sugar-packed, colour-drenched store laddus (~700g sugar per kg!). Go for homemade besan laddus made with A2 ghee and organic jaggery. Tasty and guilt-free.
Soan papdi and barfi boxes? Pistachio and rose coconut bites
Trade in those sugar bombs for date-puree-based treats with nuts and rose -- sweet, aromatic, and less likely to spike your blood sugar.
Deep-fried namkeen? No. Roasted nut and seed mix.
Your guests will thank you for skipping fried, preservative-heavy snacks. Roasted nuts and seeds are crunchy, satisfying, and keep energy steady.
Wafers and chocolate hampers? No. Curated wellness baskets
Instead of store-bought sugary hampers, gift berries, dragon fruit, avocado, and dark chocolate (85%). Chic, indulgent, and surprisingly healthy.
