Cranberry is the new kid on the block that boasts of many pluses

Fruits are a health-conscious man's best friend. To remain energetic, start the day with a large helping of fresh fruits, munch on dried fruits to satiate those 5pm cravings or pop in some luscious berries for late night binge watching.

Fitness experts suggest one must have the last meal before 7.30pm. While overnight fasting helps bring focus and mental clarity, it also detoxifies the body and enhances digestion and supports the immune system. But one must be wary of the snags of keeping periodic, intermittent, or religious fasts.

"While classics like chaas, nimbu paani, and coconut water are always treasured, cranberry-based drinks are springing up on the popularity graph. Though not native to India, the nutritious, tangy, and vibrant cranberries seem to top the chart with their burst of colour and unique zest," observes Mumbai-based nutritionist Siddhi Shah.
