The annual Karwa Chauth fasting is just round the corner, and women – who are excited about the festivities and joy and togetherness with their partners, have begun preparations. While Karwa Chauth includes not eating or drinking for 12-hours straight, you need to take adequate steps so that your body’s vitals do not get compromised. According to experts, to stay healthy and energized during your fast, there are a few important dos and don’ts you need to follow, a few of which include the kinds of food you must eat.
Here are some important dos and don’ts to follow on Karwa Chauth. Break your fast with nutritious foodAfter you have been fasting the entire day – not even drinking water—make sure when you break it, nourish your body with nutrient-heavy foods. Always eat fresh fruits, which are not too heavy, like apples and oranges, along with nuts—almonds and walnuts – or seeds for quick energy replenishment.
These foods also hydrate, regulate your blood sugar levels, and do not cause instant acidity. Drink fluids It is important to note that not drinking water or fluids the entire day can dehydrate you. According to experts, dehydration occurs when you use or lose more fluid than you take in, and your body does not have enough water and fluids to carry out its normal functions.
And so, when you break your fast, make sure to add a little salt and sugar in a glass of water and sip slowly to maintain blood sugar levels and water levels in your body. Mindful eating.
