7 steps for a quick Diwali detox
Overdid the food during the festivities? Cleanse your system with our simple guide
EAT GREEN The first step to a good cleanse is to incorporate detoxifying foods into your diet. Think green veggies, fruits and whole ingredients.Detox superfoods include spinach, red and green peppers, artichokes, celery, tomatoes, and fruits like grapes, oranges, melons, apples and bananas. Sprinkle cinnamon, ginger and grated garlic in your dishes. This would reduce the inflammatory chemicals your body has been producing because of too many mithais.
REPAIR YOUR INTESTINES All that time spent around the buffet table and dessert station probably has your digestion mixed up. Flush out the festive toxins by incorporating fermented foods. Another good way to restore your intestines to health is by sweating out. Cold winter mornings and early evenings are workout destroyers so bring home a fitness DVD or join a yoga class.Yoga will help you prevent injuries too, since it strengthens the muscles and makes you more flexible.
BANISH CALORIE BOMBS Control your diet for a good detox. Banish fattening, processed and unhealthy foods from the fridge and kitchen cabinet. Stock your home and office shelves with delicious and healthy foods, such as digestive biscuits, almonds and walnuts, ready-to-eat veggie snacks and roasted chivda.
