1. Stay hydrated
“It is important to drink plenty of water before going to any party or even while at home,” says Rujuta. She points out that overindulging in sweets and fried foods during Diwali can leave the body dehydrated, bloated and gassy, making you feel heavier than you actually are, even in your most festive attire.
2. Eat banana before parties
Rujuta recommends keeping a banana in your car or handbag and eating it just before going to a party. “Bananas are prebiotic, which helps with digestion and allows you to enjoy all the festivities without any discomfort,” she explains. This simple trick ensures that your stomach remains light even between sweets and snacks.
3. Focus on recovery after the festivities
The third and most important tip, according to Diwekar, is to focus on recovery after late night parties, sports and celebrations so that you wake up feeling refreshed and bright the next day. Let’s take a look at their suggestions:
- Try drinking a glass of buttermilk (chaach) prepared with black salt and cumin seeds, add only a small pinch of asafoetida after pouring it into the glass. “Adding asafoetida first can make it too strong,” she says.
- She adds, “Sipping, sipping and enjoying this simple drink can help you feel refreshed and rejuvenated, ready to shine like a Diwali firecracker the next day.”
