Fitness special: Balanced Bakrid feast with healthy eating suggestions for Eid-ul-Adha 2024

Eid ul Adha is a time for happiness, festivity, and getting together. It frequently brings with it an abundance of delectable foods and sweets, but while partaking in celebratory feasts is a necessary part of the custom, it's important to have a healthy eating regimen.

Before Eid ul Adha 2024, Dr. Rajeshwari Panda, Head of the Nutrition and Dietetics Department at Medicover Hospitals in Navi Mumbai, offered some healthy eating advice to HT Lifestyle in order to make sure that our Bakrid celebrations are both pleasurable and beneficial to our health.

Plan Your Plate: Spend a time organizing your meals before piling your plate high with delicious food. Strive for a well-balanced intake of vegetables, carbs, and protein. Choose lean protein choices like lentils, fish, or grilled chicken and serve them with healthful grains like quinoa or brown rice and a rainbow of bright veggies.

Mindful Portions: Refraining from overindulging requires exercising portion management, even if it can be tempting to try every dish on the table. Serving yourself modest servings of your favorite dishes is preferable to heaping your plate high. Pay attention to how each bite tastes and pay attention to your body's signals of hunger and fullness.

Pick Nutrient-Rich Foods: Among the many cuisines served on Eid ul Adha, give your body's needs top priority by selecting foods high in nutrients. To guarantee a varied range of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, include an abundance of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your meals. Try out these classic recipes that have been healthier by utilizing whole, fresh ingredients.
