Leading Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan said, “Christmas is a great time to spend some quality time with the family, and engage in activities that can strengthen bonds. In my family, we host a holiday movie marathon on Christmas day as a yearly tradition. To avoid unhealthy munching during the movies, I prepare a variety of bowls of spiced or flavoured almonds in advance to snack on.
Sheela Krishnaswamy, Nutrition and Wellness Consultant said, “This year, there has been a noticeable trend of opting for thoughtful gifts like Almonds which will add to the receiver’s well-being in the long run.” Fitness Expert and Celebrity Master Instructor, Yasmin Karachiwala said, “Christmas festivities usually bring along with them a lot of indulgent meals, which can cause unwanted weight gain. Also make sure to supplement the group workout with healthy snacks like almonds as their protein and fibre content make them a satiating choice. You could also consume almonds post the group workout as almonds make for a good post workout snack.”
Regional Head-Dietetics, Max Healthcare – Delhi, Ritika Samaddar said, “Opting for dishes that include nuts like almonds will ensure you add a dose of health to your Christmas meal.” Madhuri Ruia, Pilates Expert and Diet & Nutrition Consultant, said “Being rich in several important nutrients, almond is a versatile ingredient which can be used in many Christmas inspired recipes.”
