It’s that time of the year! The season of festivities has finally arrived, and the entire country is already neck-deep in the festivities. From Navratri to Karwa Chauth, Teej, Raksha Bandhan, and Ganesh Chaturthi accompanied by several other regionally celebrated festivals, and one of the biggest festivals still on the waiting list- Diwali!
This festival of lights is celebrated on a large scale across the country and is marked with new clothes, diyas, Rangolis, flowers and loads of food! Also known as Naraka Chaturdashi, people take this time to visit their dear ones to celebrate this festival. And when you are with your close friends and families, enjoying a good time while binging on your favourite food items is bound to happen. But this binging will surely give you lots of stomach issues as your post-festival memories.
Despite this, we will not advise you to go all “health conscious” during the festivals because it will not only dampen your joy but also, may seem a bit irritating for those around you. Furthermore, we won’t want to exhaust the festive spirit, would we?
So here we are with a few pointers for you to keep in mind during this Diwali that will take care of your stomach without sacrificing your taste buds. And it doesn’t stop here!
We also have a fun product recommendation for you towards the end that will take care of your stomach health in case you aren’t able to control your cravings.
Now, let’s roll into it.
Prevent stomach problems this Diwali
With so many mouth-watering food options, overeating can’t be prevented, leading to acidity, constipation, bloating and other stomach problems.
To keep gastrointestinal issues out of your way this Diwali, try following these steps-
Avoid caffeine – Caffeine is notorious for weakening your gut, causing bloating and worsening it in people already suffering from it. So, avoid it. If you can’t function without it, make sure to take it less frequently and in fewer amounts (max.1-2 times a day). It would be even better if you replace it with green tea.
Stay hydrated – Water is well known for its properties to flush out toxins from your body by breaking down carbohydrates quickly and keeping your organs hydrated. Less intake of water can also imbalance your gut functioning. So, make sure to drink at least 6-8 glasses of water each day.
Detoxify – As a part of your post-Diwali routine, make sure to eat light, healthy meals and drink lots of water. You can even look for recipes for detoxification drinks which can be made easily with ingredients readily available at home. Try avoiding drinks loaded with sugar as much as possible.
Balanced sleep cycle – As important as it is to keep your body hydrated, it is equally important to take care of your body’s sleep cycle. This is because sleeping helps our body cope with the day’s events while also preparing it for the next day. It gives the body time to take care of itself.
Watch what you eat – Celebrations are a time when knowingly or unknowingly, we binge on lots of food, most of them being high in trans-fat, sugar and carbohydrates. This can make your digestive system work long hours to digest it. It can even cause restlessness, digestive issues and delayed sleep schedules. So, take a healthy meal or use a probiotic whenever you get a chance.
