Eating tips:
  • The festival brings with it its own set of preparations & rituals. Even then to enjoy it the fullest and avoid stress along with physical illness, it is imperative to have healthy & small meals while juggling between meeting visiting relatives, organizing Puja at home, burning crackers & shopping. Also, Diabetics and the people with high blood sugar level must be very careful during Diwali and avoid high intake of sweets.

 Celebrate an Eco-Friendly Diwali

Eco-Friendly Rangoli: Rangoli is an essential part of any Indian festival. Instead of using harmful chemical colors or paints for Rangoli design, you can substitute them with rice flour, pulse, flowers, eco friendly colors and leaves.
Save Energy: Since people decorate their home by lighting them up. This places a huge load on the power supply system. One can save a lot of electricity by opting candles and diyas for decorating their home. Even though they consume oil, these lamps are usually used only for a short time. 
Prevent Water Pollution: Water is a precious commodity & irregular rainfalls have made it more scarce. Encourage people to burn crackers away from these useful water bodies so that clean water is accessible throughout the year
If possible, avoid crackers all together, remember its a festival of lights not sound. The same can go a long way in soothing elder people who yearn for peace in these times.
For any medical emergency Dial 1298 for Ambulance for immediate assistance and support as every second counts during medical scenario.
