The festival of colors, Holi, is celebrated each year to honor the arrival of spring and mark the end of the winter season. It is a time to make merry and rejoice in the colorful nature of life, drenching each other in clouds of colored powder. There are family get-togethers, exchanging of gifts, and delectable food. However, it is easy to get carried away and overindulge in unhealthy snacks and food, which can have a negative impact on one’s health.
This year, we can plan for a healthier Holi by replacing unwholesome snacks with almonds. Almonds are known to be a gift of good health that are a natural source of 15 nutrients including vitamins and can be incorporated in Holi festivities, such as gifts, traditional recipes, and snacks. Research has shown that regular almond consumption can provide a variety of benefits across areas of heart health, skin health, diabetes, and weight management.
Commenting on the occasion, leading Bollywood actress, Soha Ali Khan said, “Holi is a great occasion to indulge in treats, so I make sure to treat my guests with the gift of health by serving them healthy and crunchy almonds.”
