Overindulgence has been synonymous with the holiday season since time immemorial. This has also proved instrumental in creating the connection between the first of January and “… detox from today!" We contacted wellness expert Tapasya Mundhra to help us with the detox process, and she encouraged us to drink. If your first visual was that of a tequila shot, you definitely need these healthy, wholesome detox juices she's referring to. These can be whipped up at home; down one before you go to work, or enjoy one as a mid morning snack.
The mindful foodie now knows where to shop and eat in Delhi, and the Delhiwaala with fitness on his/her agenda now knows some cool alternatives to gyms. This one's to help your skin get its glow back, your liver flush out the toxins, and your body prep itself for that new workout regime you’re starting this Monday.
Pull out that blender and raise your glass to post-party season detox. Hey- we’ll drink to that!
