Observed annually as World Vegetarian Day, October 1st celebrates the joy and compassion vegetarianism brings to the world. It commences the month of vegetarianism awareness to advocate the ethical importance of the whole idea of vegetarianism, which then ends on 1 November. So, our team at Wedding Affair thought to use this perfect opportunity of World Vegetarian Day to provide you with some useful vegetarian dietary tips and tricks that you can utilise to look radiant on your wedding day!
Nutrition of Homemade Meals
- Avoid processed sugar and junk food while prepping for your bridal diet, as nothing can top the nutrition provided by the whole Indian thali, filled with chapatis and daals.
- Consider including nutritional quick snacks like roasted makhanas or peanuts between your proper meals to provide you with all the energy you need to go through your day. Starving yourself is never a wise plan, darling.
Stay Hydrated
- Always remember to stay hydrated by gulping gallons of water in between the hectic schedule of your wedding preparations.
- Staying hydrated will also help you flush out the toxins from your skin and will help you provide a healthy glow to your skin and hair.
Diversify Your Plate
Add diversity to your plate by adding different nutrient elements to your diet.
- Avoid simple carbs and add complex carbs like grain white, brown bread, oats, and ragi to your diet.
- Add salads, protein, and seasonal vegetables to your plate, and also consider adding lentils like chickpeas, kidney beans, and kale chane to add a source of protein and minerals to your diet.
Replace Unhealthy Whites with Healthy Fats
The second tip we would like to recommend on this World Vegetarian Day is to avoid unhealthy whites from your diet. If you are trying to stay fit and healthy for your wedding day, then start avoiding unhealthy whites like sugars, maida, and white rice. It is a very misunderstood notion that fats are usually unhealthy. Including healthy fats like avocado and nuts, which are rich in Omega 3 and Omega 6 can help you in improving the health of your skin and hair.

Some of the most enriching fruits that can help with your bridal glow are beetroot, pomegranate, natural almonds, and tomatoes. So, include them in your diet and achieve that radiant bridal glow!
