Coconut water also helps in better digestion and assimilation. So, have a glass of coconut water each day for beautiful skin and a healthy body.

Eat Every Few Hours. 

Eating every few hours will keep you away from hunger pangs and won’t stress your digestive system too. Include more raw fruits and veggies, eat in small quantities and keep your bottle of water along. 

Eat Before The Sun Sets. 

Have your dinner before 7 p.m. Doing so will not wreck your digestive system and will also not make you feel bloated. Also, try to keep it very light and low on carbohydrates. Think of including a bowl of warm vegetable, or tomato soup, millets along with vegetables, or a plain khichdi. 

Go For Healthy Snacks. 

Snack-time is the most tricky time of the day. So, when you include more protein and fibre rich option, you will feel full for a longer period of time and hence, help in keeping your weight in check. You can have an apple with peanut butter, hummus with veggies, oatmeal, mixed nuts and seeds, any smoothie of your choice, or a couple of oranges.
