Diwali festival is a celebration of lights, colours and festive sweets. But it also means lots of fried foods, sweets and holiday weight. If you are planning a crash diet, here’s a word of caution. Do not crash diets and other forms of dieting as it may cause acidity, fatigue and giddiness. Eat right to cut down the post-festive weight with these simple yet effective ayurvedic health tips for post Diwali detox.

To start with most basic yet fundamental rule for a healthy diet- avoid any further consumption of maida in any form, at least for a few days. Refined wheat flour majorly lack in endosperm, wheat bran and wheat germ which are the most nutritious part in wheat.

Similarly avoid bakery items, fried food and excessive sugar intake. Do not keep yourself hungry, as it will only lead to more fat storage and muscle loss. Long intervals between controlled meals can result in binge eating that further affects metabolism which adds to body flab.

Exercising is the best way to balance health ups and downs. Brisk walking, cardio exercises aid sweating which is a great way to eliminate toxins from our body system. Yoga, surya namaskar aid in concentration and better detoxification.

Water plays a very important role in Diwali detox process. Good water intake levels maintain body temperature, moisture, aids digestion, provides extra energy to muscles, gives clear complexion, balances vaat-pitta-kapha doshas, helps weight management and so on. You can also consider increasing intake of better drinks like coconut water which is loaded with electrolytes and buttermilk that is beneficial for digestive system.
