Plain Warm Water Between Fried Snacks
A few sips of plain warm water between samosa, kachori and namkeen at festive gatherings, instead of fizzy drinks. A simple, free swap.
A small swap at the table
Festive gatherings often put fried snacks next to fizzy drinks. Sipping plain warm water instead is an easy swap that costs nothing and keeps you from adding extra sugar.
Take a sip after every couple of bites and stop when you feel full. This is a table habit for comfort and not a treatment for indigestion.
