Holi means a mix of family get-togethers and visits. It means binging on unhealthy snacks and sweets that in the long run can have a significant impact on one’s health. Holi marks the arrival of a season of hope, myriad colours and good harvests and is one of the most revered festivals of India. During the festivities, it’s easy to let go and lose track of one’s food intake, and overindulge in sweets and comfort food. This year, one can try to replace unwholesome or calorie laden food with almonds and plan for a healthier Holi. Almonds are nutritious and healthy, and can easily be incorporated in the Holi festivities. Being a quintessential Indian festival, Holi is that time when people indulge in music and an array of traditional food. With festivities abuzz and many get-togethers, it is also important to be mindful of one’s health and diet. So, this Holi, people can think of gifting their loved ones the blessings of almonds to spread joy and good health.
