Navratri Detox Tips: If fried and oily foods are a part of your daily diet, you need to detoxify your body. Various impurities accumulate within the body in the form of toxins, leading not only to obesity but also to stomach problems, skin issues, and many other health issues. Navratri isn't just a festival of worship and fasting. It's also a golden opportunity to cleanse the body from within, or detoxify it. When we eat satvik food for nine days, avoiding grains and fried foods, our body begins to reset itself. This is why many people adopt Navratri as a health challenge to lose weight, achieve glowing skin, and maintain peace of mind.
If you also want to detox your body this Navratri, you can achieve better results by adopting a specific remedy each day. Let's explore nine easy and effective detox tips for the nine days.
Day 1: Start with lemon-honey water
One of the oldest remedies recommended by our grandmothers is drinking lemon and honey water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. This helps detoxify the body and boost metabolism.
Day 2: Apple Cider Vinegar Drink
On the second day of Navratri, drink ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) mixed with water early in the morning. This helps control blood sugar and accelerates fat burning.
Day 4: Mental detox with yoga and pranayama
It's crucial to detoxify not only your body but your mind as well. On the fourth day of Navratri, spend 20 minutes in the morning practicing yoga and pranayama, especially anulom-vilom and bhramari.
Day 5: Have bottle gourd and tomato soup
A light soup made from bottle gourd and tomato hydrates the body, improves digestion and also helps in controlling hunger.
Day 6: Consume coconut water and cucumber
On the sixth day of Navratri, you can drink coconut water to detoxify your body. It is rich in electrolytes, and cucumber cools the body. This day is meant to prevent dehydration.
Day 7: Eat Samak rice pilaf
Samak rice is light and provides energy during fasting. Add vegetables and make a pulao. This will help maintain both taste and health.
Day 8: Have honey and basil tea
On the eighth day of Navratri, you can drink Tulsi tea mixed with honey. It boosts immunity, soothes the throat, and helps protect the body from infections.
Day 9: Light dinner and early bedtime
On the last day of Navratri, rest your body. Eat buckwheat or water chestnut flour rotis and yogurt at night. Going to bed early allows the body to repair itself.
