Family gatherings are usually the time for them to enjoy each other’s company over tea and sweets. Unfortunately, many traditional and commercial sweets are made from white flour, syrup or sugar, butter or ghee, nuts, whole milk and heavy creams. This makes them caloric dense and fatty, promotes indigestion and heartburn, contributes to weight gain, increases blood sugar, increases the risks of some nutrition-related diseases and enhances your craving for more sweets.
The following tips from JHAH Clinical Nutrition and Food Services Unit will help you make the sweets you like healthier, lighter and more heart friendly:
