During the festive season, many of us end up (over) indulging in sweet, salty, and fried snacks, going off-track with diets and calorie counting. “The consumption of fat-laden food can damage the body in the long run, because these foods are hard on the body and never get properly digested, leading to stomach aches, bloating, or constipation,” nutritionist Sapna Jaysingh Patel, the founder of Health Before Wealth, had told indianexpress.com earlier.

Therefore, a quick detox meal now and then can make a huge difference to one’s health. According to Patel, detoxification can benefit the body in a variety of ways, including boosting the metabolism, strengthening the immune system, and promoting healthier skin and a clearer mind.
