Try all the delicacies BUT in small portions.
When you see tasty food in the venue, no doubt you will start craving for them. Instead of trying your best to control and then giving up. It will be better to satisfy your taste buds by eating mindfully and sticking to small portions. For instance, if you want to eat Gulab Jamun, limit yourself to one piece. Portion control will help in striking a balance between food cravings and staying healthy.
Try avoiding Fried Foods
Wedding seasons are filled with finger foods (fried foods with calorie-filled sauces), and we often end up eating more than we should. After all, the food is just so sumptuous. I know it gets difficult to control it, but try to avoid it after eating it once. Try moving your head left to right the next time waiter comes to you with a plate filled with finger foods. Go for dishes that are either steamed, baked or grilled.
Squeeze in some time for a 10 minute workout!
I understand it might be challenging to do your regular workout routine. But you can squeeze some time out for a small session of yoga or stretching. You can do it before the wedding festivities begin. If you are not able to, then you can…
Burn your Calories on the Dance Floor!
The best part of the wedding season is lots of dancing with your friends and family. Who can skip uncles’ naagin dance routine! Dancing is the best way to get your heart racing and burn off the extra calories. So, don’t be shy and throw some moves around.
Hydrate Well and Detox!!
The most important and classic tip for keeping your health in check. While enjoying the festivities, we often end up forgetting to drink water. In fact, if you want to control your cravings, you can drink a glass of water. This way you can control your portions as well as keep yourself full. One more thing which you all can do is sip in lemon juice to balance out the alcoholic beverages and indulgent foods. This way you won’t even feel the guilt of treating yourself to desserts.
Boost our immunity!
Binging on a lot of food and desserts might take a toll on your immune system. And you don’t want to fall sick while others are enjoying wedding festivities. So, it is advised to eat fruits and nuts. Eating a handful of nuts and seeds daily is a great way to boost your immunity as they contain many beneficial minerals such as zinc and selenium.
Enjoy your Beauty Sleep!!
We keep saying to the bride and groom that they should get a proper beauty sleep before their big day. But it is equally important for all the guests too. Not getting enough sleep will make you tired with lower energy which is not good for your health. To enjoy a nice sleep time, you can indulge in 5-10 minutes of self-care. Remember to remove your make up, wash your face, hand and feet. This will help you relax. And as you lay down on your bed, do a 5-minute breathing exercise. This way you will keep your mental health in check as well.
