Post Festive Detox with a sustainable organic
health routine
With Diwali and Halloween blazed past by, its
the festive hangover that still stays. Unlimited
binging and boozing, loads of sweets and calories
and the only exercise being party hopping, the
body sure needs a detox!

• Its post festival time and time to get back to
  work and routine. With all the unmindful eating
  and neglect that weve meted out to our bodies,
  its now time to put on some healthy gear and
  naturally flush out the toxins.
• And weve got just the right step-to-step guide
  to help you with your post festive detox-
• Start with warm water with lemon.
• Begin your day with warm lemon water and sip it
  throughout the day. Lemons provide several
  health benefits, which combined with warm water,
  can promote hydration and stimulate digestion
  throughout the day. Hydration is key. Consuming
  enough water is essential to help your liver and
  kidneys filter out toxins.
• Try sipping on warm green tea before and after
  meals to keep your metabolism strong.
• Have a nourishing breakfast.
• Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
  It not only gets you prepared for the day ahead
  but also sets the tone of the day right. In times
  of detox, it is essential to start the day on
  healthy and light note that helps the stomach
  and intestines do their job in a stress free
  environment. Therefore, beginning the day with
  oily and fatty foods like paranthas, bacon or
  complex starch is not advisable. Instead, opt
  for lighter yet more powerful options like
  multigrain muesli, cranberry oats muesli,
  avocado toast with a generous sprinkle of flax
  seeds etc. And accompany your meal with a
  probiotic drink like chaach or even a cold glass
  of almond milk. This will help the stomach stay
  cool and the fibre rich meals will aid digestion
  and flush out toxins faster. And the best part?

  seed mixes are available online at the click of

• Intermittent fasting.

• Intermittent fasting is a simple way to get the
  benefits of a fast without feeling like youre
  deprived of food. Eat your last meal no later
  than 7 p.m. in the evening, and have a bowl of
  fresh fruits with a sprinkle of flax seeds and
  sunflower seeds instead of a breakfast meal the
  next day. It is in this fasting state that your
  body is much better able to burn fat as fuel.
• Yoga.
• Yoga is the quickest way to get your energy
  system back into balance, plus it boosts your
  mood. Try incorporating 20 to 30 minutes in the
  morning to get back on your exercise track.
  Youll be feeling at-home in your body in no
  time!
• Nuts and Seeds.
• Dry fruits and nuts are full of protein,
  minerals, healthy fats and antioxidants. Snacking
  on this helps prevent junk food snacking. This
  also helps keep the stomach light while keeping
  you satiated. Try a mix of flax seeds, pumpkin
  seeds and sunflower seeds that are rich in Omega
  3 and Omega 6 which help the heart and liver
  stay healthy and strong. You can buy them online
  and be rest assured of investing in organic and
  healthy ingredients.
• Avoid artificial sugars.
• Sugars contain an abundance of empty calories.
  This is detrimental to the body, as you end up
  consuming a whole lot of fat boosting calories,
  which can cause weight gain and other problems.
  Instead, opt for healthier options with natural
  sweeteners like organic health bars. Theyre
  packed with protein and fibre rich ingredients
  to help you power snack through the day. You can
  buy different variants like amla bar, choco oats
  bar etc online from the Nourish Organics website.
