We all wait for this festival of lights, joy, sweets and dishes all around the year. Health experts say, in this festival of happiness, we all need to be alert about our health. On one hand, there is a risk of weight gain and sugar due to excessive consumption of sweets and carbohydrate-rich things during the festival of Diwali.

Take care of your health during Diwali
While talking to Amar Ujala, health expert Dr. Vineet Jha says, we should not ignore our health in any way during the festive season. Excessive consumption of sweets and dishes during these days can increase problems ranging from digestion to heart, blood pressure and blood sugar. Therefore, it is important that we do not compromise on health at any level. Let us know the essential tips that will help you keep healthy during this festival.
Celebrate safe and healthy Diwali
Festivals can be enjoyed to the fullest only when you are fit and healthy. Therefore, it is important not to make any changes in your exercise routine even during these days. Since the pollution level increases during the time of Diwali, do not go for morning walk. You can double your happiness by adopting diet and fitness tips during Diwali.
Be careful about eating and drinking
Diwali means lots of delicious dishes and sweets. However, consuming them in excess can be harmful to your health. Especially if you are suffering from diabetes or overweight, then it becomes even more important to be cautious about your eating habits. Avoid consuming too many sweet things, keep the body hydrated and include those things in the diet which detoxify the body. Consuming home-made items is considered beneficial during festival times.
Be alert if you have breathing problems
During Diwali celebrations, there is a danger of the pollution levels in the air increasing due to smoke from firecrackers. This can be a condition that increases serious complications for people with asthma and respiratory diseases like COPD. Since the level of pollution has already increased these days, do not burn firecrackers and celebrate a noise-free Diwali. This is necessary for both health and environment.
