Hydration is key

This is an all-season tip. Drinking water helps the skin remain supple, fights dryness, removes toxins from the body, increases its elasticity, and more.

“Before you go to any party or for that matter, even when you’re at home, don’t forget to have your water. One of the things that happens during Diwali is that with all the sweets and the fried foods, we really get dehydrated and then we are gastric and bloated and actually look fatter than we are when we wear those spectacular outfits,” the celebrity nutritionist said.

Eat a banana

Bananas are loaded with vitamins such as B6, which have many benefits, including improving digestion, increasing energy levels, and keeping you in a good mood, among others.

“Before you leave for the party or before you enter one, just in your car or in your handbag, keep a banana and then eat it before you enter. Chew it nicely and slowly. It’s a prebiotic that allows you to digest and enjoy everything that comes your way. Make sure that you put the peel back in your bag. Please don’t throw it around,” she shared.

Drink a glass of chaas

There’s nothing better than a glass of chaas for relieving acidity, improving digestion, and staying hydrated. To top it off, Rujuta suggested adding black salt, cumin, and asafoetida for even more health benefits.

“To ensure you fully recover from the late night parties and fun and cards and are actually ready and looking fresh like a daisy the next day, come back home to a glass of chaas. Make it with a little bit of kala namak (black salt) and jeera (cumin) but after you reach, open and add just a little bit of hing. Do not add it right from the beginning because then it becomes very strong. Stir it, sip it, and relish it.”
