Karva Chauth, the tradition that is celebrated throughout the globe especially by married women to strengthen marital bliss in one’s life and pray for their husbands’ long life, falls on October 24 for the year 2021.

Karva Chauth is a festival in which typically women fast for a full day without a drop of water and do not break their fast until they give ‘argya’ to the moon in the night. Bollywood-inspired scenes have showcased the right reason for the wait for this gleaming festive.

Women observe fasting with great enthusiasm but it is equally important to understand to restore nutritional balance for the post fasting.

Drinking 1 or ½ glasses of Nariyal pani (Coconut water) increases the energy levels and keeps you hydrated. It also controls dizziness.

Munching 4-5 Badam (almonds) or 1-2 Khajur (dates) or 1-2 Anjeer (figs) provides the boost of energy within the body.

Consuming green leafy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, and cabbage that are high in water content in the dinner replenishes one’s body with the essential vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, and fiber.

Drinking a cup of jasmine tea, chamomile tea or, green tea can help women in post-dinner digestion and prevent belching or bloating.

Replacing tea or coffee with healthier homemade options such as fresh fruit juice, buttermilk, rose milk, or saffron milk.

Craving of a sweet tooth can be smartly avoided with a piece of dark chocolate and becomes worthwhile if it’s swapped with a bitter one!

It’s a sincere request to all the women to avoid fried and high-calorie foods which are cooked in oil and food seasoned with excessive spices. It can have an immediate and unpleasant effect on your digestive systems such as stomach irritation, an upset stomach or loose movements, acidity, or gas.

I pray all you women out there Happy Karva Chauth And Happy Fasting!
