Navratri time is here. A great opportunity to detox your body. But there are some things you should keep in mind while fasting - to balance out the pros and cons. Today we’ll learn them very quickly -

Hydration is the key:

With fruit intake, water needs can be managed but drinking it is always better, to be on the safer side. Fruit juice is a good middle way between this water and fruit dilemma. Try that as an experiment.

Avoid fried, oily and sugary stuff:

Potatoes might become your friend during Navratri time. There are so many chips available in the market made of things other than just potatoes. But they’re not a healthy option. Too much oil in them. Plus, sugar anyways is empty calories. This doesn’t mean you can’t have sweets. Just make sure to have them in moderation. Not to mention, binging will ruin the purpose of fast. Remember you’re fasting for detoxing and giving your body a break.

Yoga will be good as it’ll further cleanse your internal system from toxins. If you feel tired and low on energy, meditation is also a convenient option. On some days, you may go for a jog or a long walk if you’ve good energy. What feels right, do it.
