Diwekar advises that the best way for the liver to clean is not by drinking red wine, green tea or dark chocolate but naturally. It can help in cleaning the system naturally.
By doing massages, walking around, having shots and smoothies, salads, soups, without consuming proper food, leads to elevated liver enzymes. Rujuta says,” Liver is an important organ. If left by itself, one of its primary functions is to clean up or detoxify everything in the system. You may end up developing some kind of chronic liver disease or insulin resistance (if you follow detox programmes) and out of nowhere you will create a medical disaster for yourself.”
Why shouldn’t you fall for detox programs, drinks or spas?
- It can damage the liver, our organ which naturally detoxes the body
- It changes the body composition, you lose muscle and bone density
- It affects your confidence negatively
How to enjoy Diwali delicacies?
Rujuta asks to do the following:
- Look (at all available options)
- Pick (the most appealing delicacy)
- Chew (slowly)
- Relish (take a break before going for the next helping)
