10 ways to detoxify your body after Diwali

Hydrate One of the first things you can do is increase your water intake to help flush out toxins from the body. You can also opt for detoxifying teas like green tea, dandelion or ginger tea.

Healthy eating Focus on eating a healthy diet that consists of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially those high in fibre. Reduce intake of processed and sugary foods.

Light exercise Engage in regular physical activity like walking, yoga or light jogging to boost circulation and help your body detoxify.

Adequate sleep Sleep helps to rejuvenate the body so it is important to get your designated amount of sleep.

Limit alcohol  You may have indulged in some alcohol during the Diwali season but now is the time to cut back on it as it has a negative impact on the liver.

Mindful eating Overeating is a repercussion of festivals and happy times. Now that the festival season is over practice portion control and eat mindfully to help your digestive system reset.

Stay active Incorporate activities like dancing or sports to promote sweating which helps eliminate toxins.

Deep breathing and meditation The festival season is over and with it comes stress. So, it is important to engage in deep breathing exercises or meditation to reduce stress and improve overall well-being.

Detox baths Try Epsom salt baths, which can help relax muscles and remove toxins from the skin.

Consult a professional If you're considering a more structured detox plan, consult a nutritionist or healthcare provider for personalised advice.
