Diwali recipe 2022: With an ancient history and many beliefs across religions in the country, Diwali is also referred to as the festival of lights. Celebrated over five days, Diwali is not just about sunshine and legends; it brings traditions, families and friends together. People watch fireworks displays and wear new clothes. It is time to clean and decorate your home, too. With the festivities in full swing, you will witness the streets slowly changing colors with lanterns or ‘kandils’ of different shapes and sizes adorning windows and balconies.
Consume Proteins During Festivals
While no festival is complete without family get-togethers, Diwali is one such occasion that brings together all the loved ones under one roof. Many people have a tradition of hosting house parties around this time. Having friends and family to enjoy an evening of games, gossip and merriment is something to look forward to. And what are parties without some lip-smacking snacks for guests at your home? The hosts go to lengths and breadths planning scrumptious meals to finger food that suits all age groups. However, festivals come with the fear of consuming items with harmful content resulting in an imbalanced meal. Especially most Indians consider it challenging to consume proteins regularly, especially during festivals.
Protein And Milk Products
In a study by Godrej Jersey, it is noted that the protein gap can be easily bridged by milk and milk products, a readily available and compatible protein source when used in daily diets. It is observed that 80% of consumers are aware of the need for protein in the diet for a healthy body and life, but 68% are unaware of the daily requirement, and an average of 47% of people wrongly associate protein with a healthy heart and strong bones. The study also revealed that 80% of milk consumers’ are protein sufficient, whereas 83% of milk non-consumers are protein deficient.
