1. Glow From The Inside Out With Haldi

The Haldi function in every Indian wedding exists for a reason. You must incorporate turmeric into your diet. Apart from keeping physical and mental stress away, it is loaded with medicinal and anti-bacterial properties. It helps prevent UTIs and vaginal infections. It helps the skin heal from tanning and pigmentation.

2. Beat That Bloat

Avoid pills that promise better digestion and choose more natural and homemade ingredients. After lunch, consume a glass of Chhaas or buttermilk with Hing (asafoetida) and Kala Namak (black salt). Chhaas is full of probiotics and vitamin B12. Hing and Kala Namak will aid in cutting down bloating and gas and can even help prevent IBS.

3. Childhood Favourite: Chawanprash

Your immunity and skin can both suffer from stress due to late nights and erratic schedules. One teaspoon of Chawanprash, a potent source of flavonoids and antioxidants, can increase your immune levels.

4. Go Big On Ghee

Essential fatty acids included in Shudh Desi Ghee promote effective digestion of fat-soluble vitamins (more specifically, Vitamin E). The end result is a naturally radiant complexion. Additionally, it improves the flavour of food, which automatically reduces the portion size of each meal and the number of calories taken. This makes it a fantastic remedy for bloating and helps line the intestines.

Dietitian’s Recommendation

A solid nutrition plan might be beneficial if you want to lose weight, grow muscle, maintain weight, enhance fitness, or simply boost your energy. Stay hydrated and eat a healthy, antioxidant-rich diet. Where nutrition and exercise go hand in hand, 45 minutes to an hour of brisk walking daily is beneficial. Good health for brides consists of 80% nutrition and 20% exercise. However, this 20% is very significant.

-Dietitian Vajeda Rehman

Your wedding day marks the beginning of a new chapter in your life. Instead of searching for a fast fix, create lifelong healthy habits with the help of your pre-wedding weight management strategy. A balanced diet with sufficient calories and protein can also help stop hair loss. Choosing fruits and vegetables high in water content and healthy fats and proteins will encourage healthy, glowing skin. Start at least 3 months before your wedding date: eat well, consume colours on your plate and break your meals down into a higher numbers to stay fuller for longer. Better nutrition also makes stress management simpler. In addition, it can elevate your happiness and well-being in general. We wish you well for your big day!
