Need to detox after festive season? Follow these simple tips

Hydration: Water does so much more than just quenching your thirst. It helps flush out toxins, impurities and other wastes from the body, which is crucial for detox. It is also good for digestion. Drink atleast 8 glasses everyday.

Lemon water: Drinking warm lemon water on an empty stomach each morning will help eliminate impurities and excess sugar from your system, thereby promoting detox.

Bid farewell to those platefuls of pakoras, kachoris and sweets for the sake of your own good health, and stick to healthy snacking as part of your detox plan.

Opt for oats, fruit salads and juices for a much-needed clean up of your body.

Another healthy option is to grab a handful of nuts while heading out, in order to avoid unhealthy eating.

Processed foods: Instead of gulping on food items with excess sugars, fats and processed carbohydrates, go for healthier choices, ie. raw, steamed, and sauted veggies, dals and fiber-rich grains like oats and brown rice.

Mindful eating: Never two-time with your food. Eat mindfully and with focus. This will help you grasp your body's reactions, so you know when you're full, thus helping avoid over-eating.

Rest: Getting enough sleep regularly is important to facilitate proper body detox. Aim for a daily quota of 7-9 hours of undisturbed rest.

Exercise: You must get back to your exercise routine once the festivities are over, because all that unhealthy eating will ruin your weight-loss plans, if you stop working out. Simple cardio exercises like running, biking, and swimming can help you out.
