New Delhi As soon as we hear the name of Diwali, the sweetness of Kaju Katli, Gulab Jamun, Laddus and Barfi comes to mind. These delicious sweets are being made in every house.
Do you know how much these sweets contain? calories Is it hidden? Yoga and nutritionist Juhi Kapoor says Diwali is a festival of happiness, not guilt. Just a little awareness is required. Let us know how many calories are in your favorite Diwali sweets and how much walking would be required to burn them.
Juhi Kapoor says, “I am also an Indian and eat sweets every year on Diwali. I just understand that sweets should be enjoyed in limited quantities.” His suggestion is to consume sweets, but wisely. Maintaining balance will neither affect your health nor reduce the fun of the festival.
Here is the calorie information of some of the major sweets of Diwali:
Kaju Katli: 110 calories
Motichoor Laddoo: 180 calories
Peda: 150 calories
Milk Cake: 160 calories
Gulab Jamun: 200 calories
Sohan Papdi: 170 calories
Barfi: 160 calories
If you eat 4-5 sweets, then 700-800 calories easily go into the body, which is equivalent to one plate of Chole-Bhatura!
Eating sweets is easy, but burning them takes effort. If your weight is around 60 kg, then:
Kaju Katli (110 calories): 30 min walk
Gulab Jamun (200 calories): 50 min walk
Motichoor Laddu (180 calories): 45 min walk
Peda (150 calories): 40 min walk
Sohan Papdi (170 calories): 45 min walk
Barfi/Milk Cake (160 calories): 40 min walk
This means you’ll have to walk a lot to burn off the sweetness of the dessert!
Juhi Kapoor says that eating sweets is not wrong, only balance is necessary. Drink lukewarm water after eating sweets, this improves digestion and keeps sugar under control. If you can’t go for a walk, do house cleaning, puja decoration or other work, which can burn 150-200 calories.
Juhi says that there should not be guilt but wisdom while eating sweets. After eating, walk for 10-15 minutes, drink water and stay away from fried foods. This will keep the weight under control, there will be no heaviness in the body and the sweetness of Diwali will remain.
Diwali festival is incomplete without sweets, but it is also important to take care of health. With balance and a little hard work, you can make this festival fit and happy.
