The festivities are all about love, laughter, fun and of course indulging in great food and delicacies. There is so much to appreciate about the celebrations, including gatherings with friends and family and consuming delectable treats. While the joy of it all is immeasurable, the health impact of the excess oily, sugary, and rich dishes often goes unnoticed. We are all guilty of the extravagance of the holiday season, diet debauchery, and abandoned workout plan. It is important to detox our bodies and eat a nutritious diet to clean up our system and get back to our healthy eating habits. Voltas Beko brings you easy and quick detox recipes to help you enhance your overall health and speed up your metabolism.
