Diwali 2024: 6 tips to detox your body after overindulging

Diwali involved peak gastronomic extravaganza, from eating oily food at Diwali parties to devouring delicious sweets from puja prasads. The overeating is not good for health though. Here's how you can detox.

Hydrate:  Drink plenty of water. It will help you flush out the toxins. Sometimes during festive season, with all the food, water is neglected. Add lemon for that extra punch. 

Reduce sugary and oily food intake:  After back-to-back junk, oily and sugar-laden food, it's time to stay away from these. Use natural sweeteners like jaggery instead of sugar. This will ease your detoxification process.

Exercise:  Break a sweat, get your muscles working, and your step count going! Exercising after the festive season can help you feel less bloated from all the festive overeating.

Eat green foods:  Consume healthy, nutritious foods that contain leafy veggies and fibre. 

Limit overeating:  Be mindful of your portions. Your favourite foods at Diwali parties may have had you losing all control, but it's time you get a grip on your diet. Don't snack too much and consider intermittent fasting as well.

Catch up on sleep:  During Diwali with all the fun and festive energy, sleep is not the top priority. So make sure, you sleep well and get refreshed.
