Sago is rich in carbohydrates and fiber is found in small amounts in it. Therefore, while eating it, it is important to keep your entire diet balanced. If you also eat sago during the fast of Sawan, then you can include these 5 things with it.

1. Eat curd with sago
A bowl of plain curd can be had with Sabudana Khichdi or Sabudana Paratha. Yogurt adds protein to the diet and the probiotics present in it can be helpful for intestinal health. However, people who have problems with milk or dairy products should avoid eating curd.

2. Include fresh fruits in your diet
Along with eating sago, fresh fruits can also be made a part of the diet. Fruits provide fiber, water, vitamins and minerals to the body. You can eat apple, guava, papaya or other seasonal fruits as per your choice and fasting rules.

3. Take nuts in small quantities
Along with sago, almonds, peanuts and other nuts can also be taken. Protein, healthy fat and some amount of fiber are found in them. This can help in making the diet more balanced with the carbohydrates provided by sago. Avoid consuming too many nuts, as large amounts may seem overwhelming to some people.

4. Keep yourself hydrated with lemon water
It is very important to drink adequate amount of water during the fast. Due to lack of water in the body, one may feel tired and weak. In such a situation, along with drinking plain water, lemon water can also be taken. Rock salt can be added to it for taste. If you drink sweet lemon water, keep the amount of sugar low.

5. Give place to things containing fiber
Sago has less fiber, so including fiber in the rest of the fasting diet can be a good option. Fresh fruits, some vegetables eaten during fasting and limited quantity of nuts can be its alternatives. This can make your entire diet more balanced.

Keep these things in mind while eating sago
Sabudana is a popular food eaten during fasting, but eating it in large quantities should be avoided. Try not to eat many things made from sago continuously in the same day. Along with this, include things like fruits, curd, nuts and enough water in your diet.

(Disclaimer): This information is for general awareness. If you have frequent gas, stomach ache, bloating or other digestive problems after eating sago, then do not ignore it. In such a situation, it is better to consult a doctor or dietician.
