Beware: Festive Sweets Pose Health Risks This Diwali

Mithai, a popular Indian sweet, is calorie-dense due to its high sugar and fat content, contributing to weight gain when consumed regularly. These sweets lack fiber and nutrients, leading to quick digestion and increased hunger, which can result in overeating. The sugar in mithai causes insulin spikes, promoting fat storage and potentially leading to insulin resistance and weight gain. To enjoy mithai without guilt, moderation and mindful eating practices, such as pairing with fiber and proteins, are recommended.

The research analyzed data from over 67,000 participants and highlighted the importance of food quality in any diet for effective weight control.
