Novruz and Ramadan holidays are approaching. Holiday tables will be decorated with sweets such as baklava, shekerbura, walnut badambura, walnut qutab, and qogal.
Medianews.az reports that experts are already warning that sugar consumption slows down metabolism and increases the risk of weight gain and diabetes.
There are points you should pay attention to in order to protect your health. For example, control your portion sizes. Eat sweets in small portions. Avoid several dishes in one day. Also, drink water. Drinking a glass of water after each sweet balances the sugar load. In addition, being active is also important. Short walks help burn calories.
You can use healthy alternatives instead of sugary sweets. For example, use natural sweeteners (date, banana, molasses) instead of sugar. Choose whole wheat or oat flour instead of white flour. Add low-fat milk to milk-based sweets. Homemade fruit bowls, puddings made with nuts and low-fat milk are better for children.
The approach of "little but quality" during the holiday protects health. Especially those with diabetes and other chronic diseases should follow doctors' recommendations.
