Simple Suggestions for a Pre-Wedding Diet

• Stay Hydrated: We all know the simple mantra: drink water. Drink at least 2-3 liters of water every day to stay hydrated and promote clear and radiant skin, healthy nails, and shiny hair.

• A Colorful Plate of Nutrition: Carbs are your friends, but not the simple ones.  Include complex carbohydrates like whole grains, salads, proteins, and green vegetables in your meals. Lentils, such as kidney beans and chickpeas, are excellent sources of protein and minerals. Make sure your plate is a riot of colors with salads, proteins, and green veggies.

• Avoid "Whites": It's time to say no to 'white' foods like white flour (maida), white sugar, and white rice. These are basically empty calories that won't do your body any favors.

• Include Healthy Fats: Yes, you heard that right – fats can be healthy! Things like avocados, nuts, and seeds are your new besties. These little powerhouses contain Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, the good kind of fats that do wonders for your skin and hair.

• Don't Forget Greens: Incorporate antioxidant-rich leafy green vegetables into your meals.

• Go Raw: Enjoy raw vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, and tomatoes in salads, as they are packed with antioxidants.

• Fruits for Glowing Skin: Start your day with a fruit within 5-10 minutes of waking up, and snack on fruits between meals.
