Staying with family who cook rich regional meals — one small trick you use to avoid feeling sluggish?
When you're eating home-cooked regional food at a parent's or relative's place—often ghee, fried items, or heavy parathas—what's one simple thing you've actually done that lets you enjoy the meal politely but not feel heavy the next day? (portion choice, side swap, short walk, timing, etc.)

Try this simple, single routine: start the meal with a small bowl of vegetable salad or dal (fiber + protein) and then take a deliberately smaller portion of the rich item (one paratha or one fried piece). Finish with a gentle 10–15 minute walk. Eating veg/protein first blunts the blood-sugar spike and increases satiety, and light walking after a meal reduces postprandial bloating and glucose — an easy, culturally practical way to enjoy the food but feel less heavy. (If you prefer traditional aids, a sip of warm water or small piece of ginger after the meal can help digestion.)
