4 Tips to Reset Your Body

It’s finally a wrap for the festive season until Christmas and New Year. The last few weeks were about calorie-laden sweets, deep-fried snacks, and lots of chocolates. To worsen the situation, exercise takes a back seat, you might find yourself feeling a little lethargic, bloated and out of balance. There is nothing to feel guilty about as festivals are meant to be celebrated with full fervor. The key to getting back on track after an indulgent week is not to go on starvation mode. Here’s our foolproof plan to ease back to a healthy week. 

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER, PERIOD.

Start your morning by drinking lots and lots of water. For an added boost, give your H2O a revitalizing upgrade with infused water. Take one liter of water in a jar and infuse the water with lemon, cinnamon, jeera, cucumber, ginger, strawberries, mint or even bay leaves for an hour or so. Don’t mix all the ingredients. Try different flavors every day. It will balance your pH levels, which helps your body flush out toxins. 

SWEAT IT OUT WITH A WORKOUT 

A short workout at the beginning of the week helps you get into the routine. Going for a walk will help in burning those calories. Yoga can aid in detoxifying the body. Dancing is another perfect post-festive workout. Do it at your home or join a class. 

CHOOSE FIBER-RICH WHOLE GRAINS AND LEGUMES 

After a week of binge-eating, your body needs more food. To keep yourself satisfied, fill up on fiber. Swap unhealthy snacks with healthy options like fresh fruits, vegetables, oats, seeds, and nuts, while juicing is never a bad idea, having vegetable juices over fruit juices is a healthier option. 

SKIP ALCOHOL AND GET YOUR 8 HOURS SLEEP 

It is likely to be tempted to unwind the day with a glass of wine, but, treat yourself with some sleep. Alcohol can mess with your sleep which can cause you to crave saltier and fattier foods. Reset your body with enough sleep and keep alcohol away. 

Yes, you overindulged! But you sure enjoyed it, right? Let go of any guilt and follow these tips to get back to being fitter.
