Binge Eating, and Over Indulgences During Festivals.

In India, festivities and food are quite synonymous. Round the year festive celebrations give us the perfect excuse to indulge in some mouth-watering delicacies. 
And then there are the special sweet delights like laddoos, jalebis, gulab jamun, and halwa.
We make them, receive them from friends and family, and share them. Force-feeding our friends and even children has come to be equated with love and affection. 
In India, binge eating during festive occasions has become quite acceptable. What is unacceptable, though, is falling sick due to such overindulgence.
Food is at the center of Indian life and society. 
While this can be wonderful if we balance traditional culinary practices with health, we have made this an excuse to overeat, binge eat and indulge our taste buds with no concern for our health. 
Children, the elderly, and those who are at high risk of developing lifestyle disease, in particular, are vulnerable and prone to falling sick following such overindulgences during the festive seasons. 
Try to incorporate the following during the ongoing festival season:
1.Don't attend a party on an empty stomach.
2.Choose your clothing options wisely.
(This would enable to divert your attention from eating to take care of your expensive dress.)
3.Don't be at the dinner table too long.
4.Follow the one-sweet rule.
But does binge eating cause health issues, and weight gain too? 
While people with pre-existing heart issues are most likely to experience this, it can also happen to people without any heart issues.
Every year, several people are hospitalized with
health emergencies during festivities.
Festive heart ailments peak during this season as people tend to forget their medications, overindulge in unhealthy food and alcohol and skip exercise Or walking.
On top of this, high cholesterol and smoking can make the matters worse, leading to heart failure or even death in many cases.
The need of the hour is to prioritise heart health by becoming more aware and informed about the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
Healthy exercise of 30 minutes of moderate intensity 5 days a week is one of the best ways to keep your heart healthy.

.On behalf of the members of Devanga Sangha, Devanga Hostel Road Bengaluru, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to our founding members for devoting their time and resources for establishing Devanga Sangha Bengaluru in the year 1923/24.
