Keep on consuming small and frequent meals to
maintain high energy.
Ensure you are drinking at least 3L of water per day
to maintain electrolyte balance.
Choose low-fat milk and milk products instead of
full-fat milk, cream, or cheese.
Add high-fibre nuts like almonds and walnuts in
your diet.
Limit tea and coffee to avoid dehydration.
Choose nimbu pani, buttermilk, milkshakes, coconut
water, or just plain water instead.
Use regular potatoes only once in week, and opt for
sweet potatoes as an alternative.
Use sendha namak in place of ordinary salt.
Try to make your food at home rather than ordering
outside or eating processed food.
