October brought with it a slew of festivals right from Navratri, Dussehra to Karwa Chauth. Now with Diwali round the corner, we are gearing up for a week of festivities --gourmet food, delectable dishes and a wide range of sinfully delicious sweets. While it is fine to go a little overboard with your favourite food during the festive season, it is perhaps equally important for you to balance out the post-festive indulgence with a few detox tips.
Wellbeing Nutrition (WBN) has a range of health-improving supplements that will help you detox and stay in the best of health always. So want to gorge on that extra kachori or jalebi? Sure. But ensure you end the day by consuming any one of the below-mentioned products to help the body detoxify. Let us take a look at each of these products in detail.
Daily Greens
A vegan and 100 % organic and plant-based supplement, Daily Greens contains multivitamins that have been sourced from 39 farm-fresh vegetables.It is a great form of an easy-to-consume detox drink containing alkalising superfoods like spinach, kale, aloevera, wheatgrass, brussel sprout, spirulina, broccoli, ashwagandha, and the like. Not only is this drink a rich source of vitamin D3, B3, B6,B12, B15, iron, zinc and fiber, but it helps the liver and kidneys eliminate toxins, thereby aiding in the body’s overall detoxification process. This supplement is available in the form of effervescent tablets. All you need to do is add a tablet in a glass of water, watch it fizz and guzzle the green drink up. Consuming it once or twice a day is the best way to eliminate toxins, balance pH levels, fasten metabolism and lose weight.
Apple Cider Vinegar
You may be of the opinion that apple cider vinegar (ACV) works great only as a salad dressing. However, that’s not entirely true. It works extremely well as a detox drink. Of course, just about any apple cider vinegar won’t work. You need raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar that contains “the mother”. For the uninitiated, “mother'' is the blend of yeast and bacteria that is formed during fermentation.The mother contains probiotics, which is the good bacteria for the gut, minerals, vitamins and enzymes that aids in metabolism, detoxification, and proper digestion. The murkier and cloudier the appearance of apple cider vinegar, the more effective as a detox agent it is. Wellbeing Nutrition’s ACV contains twice the amount of ‘mother’ a normal organic apple cider vinegar contains. Furthermore, it uses gold and red apples straight from the Himalayas. Just add 15-20 ml of Wellbeing Nutrition’s ACV in 150 ml of water and consume it before lunch and dinner to get best results.
Apple Cider Vinegar Plus with Amla and Turmeric (ACV+)
Now add the goodness of spices like black pepper, turmeric, amla and cinnamon to organic, raw and unfiltered ACV and what you’ll get is the best form of detox drink. Not only does it have a soothing taste, but it also acts as a golden elixir for good health, thanks to the plethora of health benefits it has to offer. You can either have it empty stomach by adding 15-20 ml of the same in 150 ml of water or have it before lunch and dinner in the same quantity. It helps regulate the pH balance in the body, eliminate toxins, speed up metabolism, lose weight, and improve digestion, among other things.
Japanese Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea
Matcha green tea is obtained from the Camellia sinensis plant quite like green tea, but what makes it 137 times more potent and healthy than green tea is in the way it’s grown. Matcha is grown with its tea plants covered 20-30 days prior to their harvest in order to protect them from the direct exposure to sunlight. This ‘shade’ is created to aid in the production of chlorophyll and boost the amino acid content present in the leaves that all come together to enhance the nutrient profile of the plant.
Wellbeing Nutrition’s Japanese Ceremonial Matcha Green tea is prepared from stone-ground tencha leaves, which are sourced from Japan. A vegan and plant-based nutritional supplement, Matcha Green tea is available in the form of effervescent tablets, which are easily dissolvable in water. They are considered to give ten times better results than normal green tea. This will definitely help in detoxifying the body after one consumes rich, fried food items, such as the ones you may consume during Diwali. Consuming matcha green tea also aids in digestion and in improving the metabolism.
Probiotics + Prebiotics
Your gut health needs to be sound in order for you to enjoy any kind of festivity. This Diwali ensure you keep Wellbeing Nutrition’s Probiotics and Prebiotics handy to ensure you don’t let the overload of sweets and fried delicacies upset your gut and eventually your mood. While probiotics are the good live bacteria cultures beneficial for your gut, prebiotics are the dietary fibers that act as the food for your gut bacteria. Containing 21 effervescent tablets, Probiotics & Prebiotics help improve digestive health, neutralise toxins in the body, and enhance nutrient absorption, among other things. Research proves that adding the right kind of probiotics to your daily routine may also help lose weight. So ensure that you make Wellbeing Nutrition’s Probiotics + Prebiotics a part of your daily routine, during the festive season more than ever.
Wrapping Up
Festive season is a time of merriment and late night parties with an overdose of food and drinks is inevitable. However, it is equally important to do a post festivity detox, if we wish to stay healthy and not fall sick. Opt for the aforementioned products to help the body filter out the toxins that were in the festive food and drinks.
