MAKE THIS KARVACHAUTH SPECIAL
BE HUMBLE TO YOUR HEALTH THIS
KARVACHAUTH
Karwa chauth is finally
around the corner. It’s an
annual day festival
celebrated by married women by fasting right from sunrise
to moon-rise for the safety and longevity of their husbands.
This festival indeed is full of joy and happiness but the associated
problems which the women faces after a long one day fast are of concern.
Nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, etc. are some most common problems seen
during or after the fast.
But this karwa chauth, it’s time to bother less as with the right kind
of food, the day is sure to pass with ease.
In order to make your karvachauth fast
less painful and to stay energised let’s gear up for the Karva Chauth with the following
tips.
BEFORE SUNRISE
SARGI
Eat light food so
that you do not feel lousy and lethargic all through the day. In the morning
while you have sargi, try and avoid very sugary foods. If it is must, have
only a bit to taste or so. The principle is that sweet foods tend to aggravate
hunger later in the day, therefore, avoid those hunger pangs by avoiding too
much sweet. Homemade paneer is a healthy option as it is high in protein and
will therefore fill you up for longer.
SARGI should include
Ø Nuts: - They are energy reservoirs these are
necessary as it keeps you energised for the entire day. But keep a watch on the
amount and do not over eat them
Ø Milk and Milk products: - They are
rich in proteins and will give you an instant dose of energy and are perfect to
help you pass the day without feeling hunger pangs. Include paneer or curd
Ø Sugar: - There should be a limit to sugar
intake as having it too much in the morning meal might make you sluggish
throughout the day.
Ø Consume water:- Drink around 3-4 glasses of
waters that you don’t feel dehydrated or feel week after the whole day
.Drinking water will relieve you of fatigue and help in digestion of food.
Ø Consume Fruits: - Eat good amount of fruits,
especially pomegranates as they will provide the nutrients to the body and help
you combat the health problems.
AFTER MOONRISE
Ø Fast should be broken gradually with sips of water or juice to
rejuvenate yourself.
Ø Avoid consuming tea or coffee immediately after breaking the fast
Ø Consume a healthy protein rich meal so that it provides you with a boost
of energy.
Ø Take yogurt having some probiotic rich scoop of yogurt will definitely
soothe your stomach after the whole day of fasting. The good bacteria, protein
and Ca content makes this dairy product a wonder food and your definitive go to
consumable after the tiring day.
Ø Say no to fried food. Don’t add bad fats and empty calories to your
body. Eating oily food on an empty stomach will only worsen your gastric and
acidity problem.
Ø Since you have managed to flush out toxins from your body through the
detoxifying fasting process, don’t add unnecessary calorie density to your
palate.
Ø Eat slowly and chew properly.Dont eat in a rush. It can cause
indigestion.
Ø Avoid heavy meals the next day as well, giving time to your digestive
system to restore normalcy.
BE A BUSY BEE
Keep yourself busy to avoid hunger
pangs. Indulging yourself in some of your favourite activity helps you avoid
the feeling of hunger the whole day. Also do not indulge in heavy household
work as it may increase your hunger. Spend time in watching movies, your
favourite serials
You can also have a spa session to
relax yourself and enjoy your time.

THE HEALTHIEST WAY POSSIBLE. EAT HEALTHY AND LIVE A HAPPY LIFE
