Indulgence during festivals is almost a given. There is no harm in occasional indulgence, of course, but the trick lies in selecting the right foods. For instance, maida and sugar can completely ruin your weight loss goals. The best bet would be to replace maida and sugar with healthier ingredient swaps in dessert recipes. This healthy dessert recipe of coconut apple barfi by Maharaj Jodharam Choudhary of Rajdhani Thali is one of those lesser-evil desserts you could cheat on during festivals. Coconut is low in sodium and high in potassium and therefore it’s an excellent food for people suffering from high blood pressure. Coconuts are also known to increase your metabolic rate. Here are the other health benefits of coconuts. From diarrhoea to constipation and from cancer to obesity, apples can help your body beat a number of illnesses. This why you should eat apples every day. Also Read - Can eating applesauce protect against chronic disease?
