 COLOURS, CALORIES AND CLEANSING: Your Ultimate Holi Diet and Detox Guide

Holi, the vibrant festival of colors, is just around the corner! As we prepare to drench ourselves in a kaleidoscope of colors, let's not forget to nourish our bodies with wholesome foods and detoxify our systems after the celebrations. In this blog post, we'll share some valuable Holi diet tips and post-Holi detox secrets to help you make the most of the festival while keeping your health and wellness in check. So, let's dive into the world of colors and cuisine, and make this Holi a celebration of health, happiness, and harmony!

Here are some simple points for Holi festival day diet:

1. Breakfast

On Holi, go for a light breakfast, such as plain poha or combine it with curd. This keeps your stomach full even after breakfast and is light enough to be easily digested. Also, having a salad or a bowl of oats before the Holi party will keep you from going hungry and overeating.

2. Hydrate Yourself

Despite the abundance of water around us on Holi, we often need to pay more attention to hydrating ourselves during Holi. It is essential to consume plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated. Warm water aids in detoxification and benefits your throat and metabolism. To assist in flushing out toxins from your system, add freshly squeezed lemon juice to the warm water.

3. Prepare Healthy Substitutes

A little tinkering with your favorites Holi recipes can really go a long way in making your Holi healthy. Here are some healthier alternatives to your favorites Holi dishes:

• Baked Gujiya
• Brown Bread Dahi Vada
• Ragi Malpua
• Low Fat Thandai
• Frozen Yogurt
• Baked Kachori with Chana Masala in Rice Bran Oil
• Fruit Raita

4. Eat In Moderation 

An overdose of foods coupled with sweet, sour, spicy and high fats could lead to potentially serious repercussions. It is best to moderate yourself and then let yourself go with the flow.

5. Avoid Touching the Food

Some harmful colour particles could remain in your hands despite having washed your hands vigorously. Therefore, eating with forks or spoons is best to avoid dangerous substances entering your body.

6. Only One Serving

Festival food comes in various flavors and colours; you will want to try a little of everything. Do not give in to the temptation, take one serving at a time Returning to the table for a second (and third) serving may increase your daily steps, but it does nothing for your health. Limit yourself to one small portion of the festival foods to avoid gaining weight.

7. Avoid Overindulging In Alcohol

Festivals encourage binge drinking. We already tend to eat high-calorie foods. After the festivals, give your system a vacation from alcohol because it causes weight growth.

Post Holi Detox

Here are some simple tips for post Holi Detox Diet:

1. Drink Detoxifying Drinks

Lemons can naturally treat everything connected to your digestive system, from bloating to indigestion. Lemons are crucial in post-Holi detox diet plans, especially as a health ritual in the morning. Also, you can begin your day after Holi with a glass of cucumber water, which will quench your thirst and make you feel full. It also helps to cleanse your body of the trash and sweets consumed throughout the celebration.

2. Consume Fresh Fruits and Veggies

Choose low-glycemic whole fruits and vegetables such as apples, kiwi, papaya, berries, and so on to satisfy your stomach. Consume delicious vegetable broth, blanched vegetables, or a light homemade vegetable soup. Fruits and vegetables include fibre, which helps your gut and digestive system stay healthy, helping you stick to your weight loss diet. 

3. Consume Light meals

Preparations like khichdi, rice poha, oats, oatmeal, and quinoa salad for the next few meals. Restrict your salt intake and avoid sugar over the following few days. This will help your liver detoxify and rejuvenate itself.

4. Sleep Well

Following a fantastic Holi celebration, allow your body 8-9 hours of rest to recover and revitalize. Keep your devices and phone away from you for at least one night. Have green tea or turmeric milk before going to bed. To fall asleep, listen to calm instrumental or relaxing music.

5. Avoid Late-Night Eating

It is usual to stay up late during the Holidays but avoid binge eating. Late-night snacking is a major contributor. You also suffer intestinal troubles by having food late at night.

6. Do Simple Exercise

Do simple home-based activities such as breathing exercises, aerobic warm-ups, and stretching. Exercise will aid in the relief of strained and tired muscles. You can also go for a long walk or perform yoga or pranayama.

7. Hydrate Your Body

Holi is a physically intense and exhausting festival. Drinking alcohol frequently dehydrates our bodies. Fried foods add to its promises. Thus, once you have finished your bath and are ready to rest, consume sugary soft beverages such as lemon and mint water, coriander water, coconut water, green tea, chamomile or jasmine tea, and so on. These fluids will help you replenish the depleted electrolyte stores in your system.
