#Diwali advice: What should families with children and people with diabetes keep in mind?

Ishi Khosla, nutritionist, offers a simple reminder:

🍬 Choose your sweets carefully. Pay attention to the ingredients, not just the claims on the packaging.

🍎 Fruit- and dry-fruit-based sweets can be one option, but don’t automatically assume they are healthy.

🔍 Sugar-free doesn’t always mean healthy. Assess each product individually and look at its other ingredients, too.

🥄 Moderation matters. Whether it is a traditional mithai or a sugar-free alternative, portion size is important.

Celebrate, enjoy your favourite sweets, but don’t overdo it!

A little awareness can make festive celebrations healthier without taking away the joy. Watch full podcast https://t.co/vSVXvFbcno

You need screening after age 45/50 or when you have a close family member who has had #BreastCancer is a #myth. Dr Geeta Chadha, renowned gynaecologist @APOLLODELHI says women in their 30s are showing up with cancers so self examination and screening becomes important from a much younger age . #health #BreastCancerAwareness #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

About 6 to 7 in 10 breast cancer patients in India are diagnosed at an advanced stage, and another says @batraatulonc Dr Atul Batra of Professor @aiims_newdelhi
Only ~30% are caught early, versus 60–70% in many developed countries. Early detection and access to treatment, no nationwide mammography screening, cost remain the biggest gaps. #BreastCancerAwareness #screeninggaps #health

Emerging research points to molecular tags that may be forcing your body to regain weight. @docanoopmisra explains the science behind this phenomenon but also spells hope saying consistent efforts always deliver results .

Boundaries, one of the most common words used in #mentalhealth conversations today. We try teaching them to our children but are we respecting our own. Because kids don’t learn by what you tell them, they tend to follow what you are doing. Teaching them to say no is imporsnt so is telling them it should not come
after piling up too many yeses. When we teach them know we have to teach the consequences as well- like it’s fine to be alone than surrounded by toxicity. Read my blog https://t.co/7XgqTuK6Lt

Can what a child eats affect their mood, #anxiety and focus?
Clinical nutritionist @IshiKhosla1 says yes: "Brain food is gut food." Omega-3s, B vitamins and magnesium help, and so do nuts, seeds, dals and millets. Read more
