Chaitra Navratri 2024: Healthy things you can eat while fasting!

Maa Durga's Blessing

A period to connect with the divine and cleanse the body and mind. Here are things you can eat in your Navratri Fast.

Fruits

Chaitra Navratri happens during the warmer months; hence, it is crucial to eat more fruits that are high in water content.

Protein-rich foods

From milk and milk-derived foods like paneer to amaranth and kuttu atta, there are many different protein options available.

Probiotics

Consuming foods high in probiotics can strengthen your immune system in addition to improving gut health. Buttermilk and curd are good examples of it.

Millets

Nutrient-rich foods, including buckwheat, barnyard millet, foxtail millet, and tiny millet, can boost energy levels without making you gain weight. Avoid eating them in deep-fried versions such as pakora and poori.

Veggies

When fasting, it is best to stick to light, easily digestible veggies since these will aid in detoxification and renewal. Both bottle gourds and pumpkins are easy on the stomach and rich in fiber and other nutrients.

Healthy Snacks

Peanuts and Makhana are significant sources of numerous vitamins and minerals. You can avoid hunger pangs by munching on peanuts and makhana.
