You’ve been planning for this day for months now. And now there are only a few days left before your wedding day. Fittings for your various bridal outfits are done; the menu is fixed; so are your appointments with the beautician for last-minute fixes. You now need to calm down, relax, gather positive energy and gear yourself up for your big day! Here’s an easy-to-do detox plan that will not only leave you more energised, but will aid your existing fitness regime, help you lose that li’l bit of extra flab and give you naturally glowing skin and hair.

“True beauty comes from within. So, it is important to detoxify. A detox routine ‘cleans’ us,” says Mumbai-based nutritionist Naini Setalvad.

Here’s What a Detox Plan will do for You

  • Remove toxins like chemicals, pesticides and other naturally accumulated waste from your body.
  • Improve the body’s ability to cleanse itself.
  • Improve overall wellness and boost your immunity.
  • Prevent premature ageing.
  • Improve energy levels and increase mental clarity.
“Eliminate all foods that take time to metabolise, like white flour, refined wheat, diary products, eggs, meat, fish, processed foods, foods with preservatives, aerated drinks, alcohol and sugar,” says Mumbai-based dietician Maithili Pashtekar.

Here are Foods Naini thinks You Should Include in Your Plan
  • All fresh fruits and vegetables.
  • Condiments like sea or rock salt; lemon, ginger, cumin seeds and coriander. Avoid refined salt.
  • Replace tea and coffee with herbal teas like green tea, jasmine and chamomile.

  • Brown rice, unpolished rice, amaranth (raj gira), bajra and nachani (ragi).
