3 food rules about Diwali bingeing no one will tell you

Have you ever realised how we kill half the fun of our festivities by putting too much thought into what to eat and what not to eat. Addressing your concerns, Luke Coutinho, integrative and lifestyle medicine, holistic nutrition, Author, Speaker, Int. Collaborator - Yale - Griffin Prevention Research Center, USA Training N.D shares three basic principles that will sail you through this Diwali.

Chew your food and enjoy the taste. Eat your food mindfully so you can savour it. Keep the sweet longer in your mouth. This will make the tongue pass on the message to your brain and you will stop craving for it.

When we indulge in excess fatty and sweet foods, our bodies produce more acid. So remember to include a portion of raw vegetable and lemon water to keep yourself alkaline.

Fear of the wrong food produces stress that in turn produces cortisol that tells your body to store fat. So remember to enjoy whatever you eat. If you eat it without stress, your body will break it down the right way.

Wishing you a very Happy Diwali!
