After the nine amazing days of fasting and joy of Navratri, we get into the habit of inculcating a lot sweets and fried food on Dusshera or Vijaya Dashami. The day, symbolising the triumph of good over evil, is celebrated across states with enthusiasm, festivity, cultural programmes and food fests.
The question is: after all this fasting and gluttony, how does one get back to a normal eating schedule? Food deprivation and indulgences during the course of the festival can lead to unwanted weight loss and gain, requiring a good colon cleanse. Detoxification, using a combination of herbal teas and detox diet, gives you the best cleanse at home, which helps in shedding the extra kilos gained by eating sweets and heavy foods.
Tips on how to get back to normal
바카라˘Try to drink lots of water, lemon water, coconut water, buttermilk
바카라˘Be good on fibre intake and consume good amounts of local vegetables and fruits
바카라˘Try to avoid fried food and heavy spicy food
바카라˘Limit portion sizes, specifically at dinner and slowly and gradually reach your optimum portion size.
Navratri is also marked by change of season, which brings about a lot of variety of fruits and vegetables such as spinach, peas, carrots, fenugreek leaves, cabbage cauliflower and citrus fruits. It바카라™s always best to include these varieties in bulk after fasting.
