1. Stay hydrated
“Before heading to any parties or even while at home, it is important to drink plenty of water,” Rujuta says. She explains that indulgence in sweets and fried foods during Diwali can leave the body dehydrated, bloated, and gassy, making you feel heavier than you actually are, even in your most festive outfits.
2. Eat a banana before parties
Rujuta recommends keeping a banana handy in your car or handbag and eating it just before entering a party. “Bananas are prebiotic, which helps digestion and allows you to enjoy all the festive treats without discomfort,” she explains. This simple trick ensures your stomach stays light, even amidst all the mithai and snacks.

3. Focus on recovery after festivities
{{/usCountry}}The third and most important tip, according to Diwekar, is to focus on recovery after late-night parties, games, and celebrations so you wake up feeling fresh and radiant the next day. Let's take a look at her suggestions:
- Try a glass of chaas (buttermilk) prepared with kala namak and jeera, adding only a small pinch of hing after pouring it into the glass. “Adding hing earlier can make it too strong,” she notes.
- “Stirring, sipping, and relishing this simple drink can help you feel fresh and rejuvenated, ready to sparkle like a Diwali firecracker the next day,” she adds.
