Holiday Hangover Detox: Clear Bloating, Gas & Water Retention
After celebrations, most people experience bloating, acidity, puffiness, and water retention. The hangover is not just from alcohol but also from overeating, late-night meals, sugary foods, and salty snacks. A holiday detox should focus on calming the gut and flushing out excess sodium.
Start your morning with warm fennel and cumin water to reduce gas and acidity. Choose light, hydrating foods like fruits, coconut water, soups, steamed vegetables, and khichdi. Avoid dairy and gluten for 24–48 hours to give the digestive system a break.
Reduce salt intake and include potassium-rich foods like bananas, coconut water, spinach, and oranges to release stored water. Herbs like ginger, ajwain, and mint help reduce heaviness.
Walk for 20 minutes after meals to support digestion. Hydrate throughout the day with cinnamon tea, tulsi tea, or plain warm water.
A structured hangover detox quickly reduces bloating, resets appetite, and restores energy levels.
