How to keep yourself fit during Navratri fast
break fast on time
If you are fasting for 9 days, then the fasting food is sattvik but this food can be prepared in ghee. At the same time, there are more fried things in the fast food. For this, it is better if you break the fast at the right time because the food gets easily digested and there is no problem.
definitely drink coconut water
Drink coconut water during the fast because many types of nutrients are found in it. At the same time, it also removes weakness. If you do not eat anything the whole day during the fast, then you can drink coconut water after worship in the morning. You must drink two coconut water throughout the day.
eat light food
During fasting, it is not necessary that the fruit food should include only things made from buckwheat flour. If you want, you can also eat things made from sago, sama rice and rajgira.
avoid fried food
During Navratri fast, you should not eat fried food or eat it very little. Eating fried food can cause heartburn or acidity problems. It would be better to avoid this.
Avoid drinking tea-coffee
One should avoid drinking excessive amounts of tea and coffee during the fast. Because drinking tea on an empty stomach for a long time can cause gas problems and can also lead to dehydration.
