Healthy Foods After Chhath: The 4-day long Chhath festival has ended yesterday. In this fast, devotees observed a waterless fast of 36 hours. After this fast there is often weakness in the body. After this fast the body needs detox. If you remain hungry and thirsty for a long time, it has a bad effect on your body.
Being hungry and thirsty for a long time can cause problems like weakness, dizziness, fatigue and headache in the body. Ayurvedic experts say that if proper eating is taken after breaking the fast, not only the energy returns immediately, but the body and digestive system also becomes strong.
Health experts say that after fasting, first of all light, nutritious and detoxifying food should be given to the body. While Chhath fast is a symbol of self-control and faith, it is also a natural way to detox the body. But after fasting, it is very important to pay attention to the diet.
Boiled water of moong dal: This is the best option to break the fast. Mixing some honey in it and drinking it gives instant energy to the body. Moong dal is rich in protein, fiber, iron and potassium, which restores the energy balance in the body.
Honey: If you suffer from cold or sore throat during fasting, honey is very beneficial. It contains antioxidants and vitamin B-complex which strengthen the immune system.
Boiled Moong or Moong Khichdi: It is light, digestible and energy rich food. Adding some desi ghee to moong khichdi improves digestion and provides warmth to the body.
Moong Dal Halwa: If you feel like eating sweets, this is a healthy option. It provides both protein and energy.
Bajra Khichdi: If you have caught cold after fasting then this Khichdi is very beneficial. Bajra contains iron, fiber and protein and has a warming effect, which keeps the body warm in cold weather.
After fasting, include seasonal vegetables like spinach, fenugreek, bathua, carrot in the food. It provides vitamins and minerals to the body, which removes weakness and increases immunity.
Pay attention to hydration
It is most important to rehydrate the body after fasting. Drink liquids like lukewarm water, coconut water, vinegar or lemon water, and soup. This maintains the balance of electrolytes in the body and relieves fatigue.
