7 Recipes To Detox Post Diwali

The purpose of any detox plan is to take the load off the organs that detoxify the body – the liver, kidneys and bowel – while supporting and improving their performance. After a heavy and calorie-laden festive week, it is essential that you detox in a safe and healthy way to get the body and system back on track. Don’t forget to resume the exercise routine and detox post Diwali. Go for walks, start your workouts, climb stairs and be as active as you possibly can be.

Think of a post-Diwali detox as a cleanup for your body; it’s a way to recharge, rejuvenate, and renew your body, and also get you back to being fit and healthy.

Try these Simple Recipes for a post-Diwali Detox.

1. Lemon Water

This is the perfect start to any detox programme. Also, it’s easy to make – all you have to do is squeeze half a lemon in one glass of lukewarm water. Therefore, have this on waking up and half an hour before all meals.

Benefits

Lemon is a great alkaliser and helps flush out toxins. It also improves digestion, prevents constipation, and helps the liver function, which in turn helps the digestive system break down complex foods better.

2. ABC Juice

healthy concoction

Ideally, this healthy concoction should be consumed immediately after it’s made, and can be had with a meal or as an in-between snack.

Ingredients

  • Apple- 1 (Chopped)
  • Beetroot- 1 (Chopped)
  • Carrot- 1 (Chopped)

Method

Blend all the ingredients, followed with a squeeze of lemon and drink immediately.

Benefits

This juice is a powerhouse of antioxidants that protect the body from harmful chemicals and toxins. It also gives instant energy. Together, the three ingredients offer ample amount of nutrients to keep you going through the day. Also, this has long-term benefits on your health.

3. Cleansing Soup

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (green beans, onions, cabbage, red-yellow peppers)
  • 1/2 cup assorted root vegetables (carrots, beets, sweet potatoes)
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1/2 cup boiled chana or rajma
  • 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
  • ½ tsp cumin powder
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon powder
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 cups vegetable stock or water

Method

Pressure cook the root veggies with water for 1 whistle. Then, add the other veggies except spinach, and boil for few minutes. Season the vegetables with the above-mentioned spices and beans.

Next, allow it to adopt the flavors, and slowly pour in the stock and let it simmer with a covered lid for about 15-20 minutes. Lastly add the spinach and lemon juice, and enjoy piping hot!

Benefits

This soup (more like a stew) is great for a post Diwali detox-friendly meal. The vegetables contain a wide variety of vitamins and minerals as well as phytonutrients.

So, these increase immunity and help ward off infections after consuming empty calorie and taxing festive foods. Moreover, the fiber helps in cleansing the digestive system and is a delicious & filling meal as well.

4. Detox Salad

Along with these, seeds are rich in minerals and good fats.

5. Oatmeal with Nuts and Fruit
