After month-long preparations, Diwali is over and with this has ended the series of feasts and parties. Besides socializing, the festival offers a great opportunity to relish our favourite food which can be anything from some samosas to a box of Indian sweets.

As per Lovneet Batra, the beetroot activates liver enzymes and increases bile in the body. This helps the liver in its detox function or in getting rid of the toxins from the body. The garlic, on the other hand, has a mineral called selenium which is said to be beneficial in cleaning the liver.
In the detox drink, lemon is something that can help you feel less guilty about your binge drinking session during Diwali. The nutritionist says that lemon can reverse the effects of excessive alcohol consumption on the liver. But this doesn't mean that you consume alcohol in excess. It is always advised to keep your alcohol consumption under control.
