Boost Your Health in Summer

Eat Before You Meet: Eat a small meal before you go for that obligatory lunch or dinner. Make a pre-party meal of a hardboiled egg, apple and herbal tea, some fresh lime water or buttermilk.

Cut (Or At Least Regulate) Alcohol: Alcohol is zero-nutrient with many calories, and there are no two ways about this! At least try to cut down on quantity.

General Tip: Here’s a plan for regular to heavy drinkers. For the first week, opt for wine only - no beer, whisky, rum, vodka or cocktails -twice in the week. For the next two weeks, stick to just a glass of beer twice or thrice I week. For the next two weeks, have anything - within a broad parameter of “no-more-than-two-drinks-a-sittingâ€?, before going back to the wine-only plan.

You can work out your own plan: For instance, if you end up drinking thrice a week, try to cut down to twice or cultivate a taste for a lighter alcohol. And to take your mind off the evening drink, line up interesting activity for yourself!

Stop Night Bingeing: Brush your teeth right after dinner to remind you: no more food. And put a sign on the kitchen and refrigerator door if you need to: Closed after dinner.
