- Portion control is the key. It’s not always about what you eat but rather more about how much. It’s most important to keep an accurate check on the meal size.
- Try to avoid fried foods on Ganesh Chaturthi and Teej festival and look for healthier alternatives.
- Stay hydrated. Smoothies, juices, coconut water, or lemon water, pick your drink and ensure that you have sufficient amount of it in order to maintain the level of fluid in your body.
- Restrict the amount of sugar and salt intake. High salt intake might cause swelling, puffiness and water retention in your body. High sugar intake puts extra burden on your liver, so make sure to keep a check on it.
- Cut down on your caffeine intake. Too much caffeine intake slows down the digestion process.
Here are some tips to follow on the festival:
- Watch your dairy consumption. High intake of dairy products can lead to mucus formation in liver, which makes the digestion process slower.
- Include plant-based protein sources like lentils and green vegetables in your diet. These will give your body a much needed break from the festive eating.
- Switch to lighter oils (olive oil) instead of heavy oils like sesame oil and vegetable oil as those put extra pressure on the liver.
- Include more of complex carbohydrates (oats, whole wheat flour, bran, porridge) in your diet. These will help you stay you full for a longer duration and reduce the possibility of over-eating.
- Lastly, enjoy the festivity and enjoy the day and time, just being a little bit mindful will help stay happier and guilt-free.
