Have you already started gorging on your favourite dishes and drinks this festive season? Then dietitians say you should keep it in check so that you can enjoy this season to the maximum. The festive season brings with it different kinds of parties almost every other day, especially because it also coincides with the wedding season. With each one of them loaded with food and drink, it is going to be a lot of fun. At the same time, it highlights the need to balance it all out so that it doesn’t affect one’s stomach and digestion and gets you sick just when you have to attend the next party.

Pratiksha Kadam, consultant, dietitian at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Navi Mumbai explains, “The festive season is synonymous with indulgent feasts and celebratory gatherings, making it challenging to maintain a healthy lifestyle.” It is also why she highlights that it is important to strike a balance between enjoying festive delights and maintaining your health during this joyous season. Every year, people talk about how their diet and weight go for a toss during December because of the parties and weddings, where they indulge in not only rich food but also different types of alcohol and drinks, that are often not in our control.
