After the festive celebrations of Diwali - filled with sweets, fried snacks , late nights , and less physical activity - our body often feels bloated , sluggish and tired . A simple post - Diwali detox can help reset your system , restore energy , and bring balance back to your routine .
Detoxification doesn't mean starving or drinking only juices . It's about giving your body nutrient-rich foods that support your liver, kidneys and digestion- the organs responsible for natural detox . Start your morning with warm lemon water or jeera ( Cumin ) water to flush out toxins and improve digestion . Include green tea, tulsi tea or dandelion tea through the day for antioxidant support .
Focus on light , home-cooked meals - fresh vegetables, fruits, lentils and whole grains. Avoid heavy , fried or sugary foods for at least 5-7 days. Add fiber-rich foods like papaya, cucumber , and oats to ease digestion and cleanse the gut . Hydration is key - aim for 8-10 glasses of water daily , and include coconut water or infused water with mint and lemon .
A short daily walk or yoga session helps activate metabolism and improves circulation . Deep breathing and meditation calm the mind , reducing post- festival fatigue . Sleep early to allow the body to repair and rejuvenate naturally .
Remember, detoxing is not a punishment for festive indulgence - it's a gentle way to thank your body. By following a balanced , mindful approach for a week, you'll notice improved skin , better digestion , and lighter you - ready to start afresh after Diwali .
