[QUOTE="Archived_Member16, post: 154678, member: 884"] If you love laddus, let them go Esha Mahajan, TNN - Oct 12, 2011, 01.31AM IST NEW DELHI: The Navratra fervour has died down and so has the austerity that marks the festivity. As Diwali celebrations pick up pace, sweets are eaten with relish. And with the palate and tradition to egg us on, most of us down many more laddus and barfis than are good for us. The result: indigestion, weight gain, raised blood sugar and worse. Consuming a lot of sweets has a hormonal impact on the body, and can cause related disorders like PCOD ( Polycystic Ovarian Disease) among young women. High intake of sugar can cause lethargy, and since it also increases appetite, people tend to eat more. And the binge continues well after Diwali - sugar aggravates the appetite for more sugar. Weight gain due to sweets can also trigger depression, says Dr Ishi Khosla, a clinical nutritionist. While free indulgence of the sweet tooth is an invitation to disease, even a seemingly moderate intake of festive sweets can result in unexpected weight gain. For a person who weighs about 70kg, just four pieces of boondi laddus can easily add half a day's calorie requirement, says fitness expert Raghav Pande. And a preemptive exercise regimen wonat make amends for the festive excess. asPeople try to compensate by working out more and eating healthy before the festive season, but they donat realize that calorie burning needs to be a continuous process. A week of healthy living cannot compensate for bingeing later on, says fitness consultant Sunil Kumar Bisht. Visible changes like weight gain are the least sinister of sweetsa ill-effects. Doctors say traditional cooking methods produce harmful byproducts in sweets. Most sweets are deep-fried. Cooking at high temperatures for so long reduces the nutritional benefits of ingredients such as milk and nuts.
