Easy Post Diwali Detox Tips

Festive season is going on and in no time weddings and New Year celebrations will take over. It is obvious to get excited about eating those heavenly rich festive foods. And this delicious experience can lead to bloating, puffiness, heaviness, and other digestive issues. However, the damage is not permanent and it can be reversed – so, take a sigh of relief. All you need is a perfect post Diwali detox or detoxifying regimen after all the festivities to flush the toxins out from your body and give good rest to your liver and kidney. Here are some of the simple and easy detox tips to clean the toxins from your body. 

Detox Tips To Cleanse Your Body

1. Stay Hydrated 

Water is necessary for proper organ functioning, regulates body temperature, promotes metabolism, and flushes waste and toxins from the body, carrying the nutrients to where they are required. Since you must have consumed too much junk, fried food, and alcohol this festive season, your body may get dehydrated. 

Consuming a good amount of water will prevent constipation by softening stool and promoting bowel evacuation. Water is also important for kidney function, as it filters them. 

2. Stick to Your Workout Routine 

With so many festivities, it is easy to lose track of your fitness goals. Once the festivities are over, instead of feeling discouraged or procrastinating, you should get back to your exercise routine and burn those calories. 

Don’t just completely rely on a post Diwali detox diet or any other diet, do some exercise too. But make sure to start with an extensive workout routine – just begin with mild exercises and be consistent. Some of the best yet easiest exercise routines are cycling and jogging. Later, you can switch to something challenging like pilates, etc. to get back in shape. 

3. Include Probiotics & Antioxidants

Include probiotic-rich foods such as kefir, kimchi, yogurt, dhokla, dosa, etc. to your diet. As they contain good bacteria and are good for gut health, which can help you get back in shape in no time. Besides this, consuming a cup of green tea or any antioxidant rich food such as tomatoes will help in cleansing toxins and impurities from your body and will keep you hydrated as well. 

4. Consume Metabolism Boosting Drinks 

There are so many metabolism boosting drinks that you can try such as green tea, ginger tea, acv drink, fennel tea, ajwain water, cumin cinnamon drink, etc. For instance, consuming honey and lemon water in the morning stimulates the digestive system, improves digestion, and boosts metabolism. Honey soothes the digestive tract and fights the stomach infections. Ginger tea also improves your digestive health. 

5. Have Digestible Food 

After having all that processed and fried food, give some rest to your digestive system by not eating the foods that are hard to digest. Consume foods that are low on fat and high on protein like dal, vegetable khichdi, dhokla, upma, soups, dalia (without milk). All these dishes are nutritious and digestible. You can also avoid dairy foods for a few days to make your detox after Diwali and other festivities successful. 

6. Go Green 

Green leafy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, cabbage, kale, etc. are rich in antioxidants and other essential nutrients, helping fight inflammation in the body. These vegetables are also effective in preventing acidity and cleansing the gastrointestinal tract. Make sure not to eat these veggies raw; cook them properly before consuming.
