- Eat a balanced diet after the festivals
Diwali is a festival of light and happiness, and this day is celebrated with sweets and tasty pakwans. Perhaps in the older times, people never had to worry about post-festival detox or post festive weight loss like today. This is because never in the past centuries, people at large have restricted their daily physical activities like many do today while doing a desk job, using personal vehicles, enjoying fast food, and suffering from too much stress.
Today people often complain about bloated stomach, acidity or constipation after the festivities, because weak digestive system and poor body metabolism cannot manage the excess intake of sweets and deep-fried food.
In such situations, people can adopt a detox diet to flush out the toxins from the body while giving good rest to their liver and kidney. Here are some of the key do's and don'ts for detoxification after festive seasons.
Post Diwali detox tips
1. Avoid artificial Sugar Consumption
Post-Diwali, avoid taking artificial sugar-laden food for 1 to 2 weeks. Say no to consuming sweets, bakeries, and colas after Diwali so that your system gets time to recover and no more burdened with sweets.
