HAPPY DIWALI
( DIWALI Do’s and Don’t )
Celebrate with Joy, Care, and Responsibility and Take care of your Health .Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is one of the most cherished and widely celebrated festivals across the world. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and truth over falsehood. Families come together, homes are decorated with diyas and rangolis, and people express love and togetherness by exchanging sweets and lighting fireworks.
While the essence of Diwali is deeply spiritual and cultural, it is important to also reflect on how our modern day celebrations can impact our health and environment. As we embrace the joy and festivities, let’s also be mindful of the ways we celebrate.
No Diwali is complete without a wide array of delicious sweets laddoos, barfis, rasgullas, and chocolates. These treats are a symbol of sharing happiness and blessings. However, overindulgence in sugary foods can pose serious health risks, especially for people with diabetes, heart conditions, or those trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Excessive consumption of sweets can lead to sudden spikes in blood sugar levels, tooth decay, digestive issues, and long-term weight gain. Children, in particular, are at risk of developing unhealthy eating habits if sweets are consumed in large quantities.
It is better to choose healthier alternatives like dry fruits, homemade sweets with less sugar, or naturally sweetened items. Practice moderation and encourage mindful eating, even during the festivities .
Lighting fireworks is another traditional part of Diwali celebrations. While they add excitement and visual splendor, the health hazards they pose are significant.
Also Firecrackers release a large amount of smoke and harmful gases like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which severely degrade air quality. This can lead to respiratory issues, especially in children, the elderly, and those with asthma or other respiratory conditions.
Plus Loud crackers can cause hearing problems and disturb not only people but also pets, wildlife, and infants.
Every year, hospitals report numerous cases of burn injuries and eye damage due to mishandling of firecrackers.
It is better Opt for green crackers that produce less pollution or switch to non-polluting ways of celebration like laser shows, lantern lighting, or community fireworks in a controlled environment.
