Mistakes to avoid when fasting

By Anujj Trehaan

1

Going too extreme

Navratri fasting doesn't mean starving. Ensure you consume around 1,200 calories daily to avoid health issues.

2

Indulging in an intense workout

Avoid intense workouts during fasting as it can cause fatigue or fainting. Opting for moderate activities like walking or light stretches is a good choice.

3

Breaking the fast with unhealthy food items

Refrain from breaking your fast with unhealthy, oil-loaded foods, as it can reverse the benefits and cause blood sugar fluctuations.

4

Dehydration

Stay hydrated by tracking water intake and consuming coconut water, diluted juices, and high-water-content fruits.

5

Overconsumption of caffeinated beverages

Avoid tea and coffee during fasting, as caffeine can lead to acidity, heartburn, dehydration, bloating, and tummy aches on an empty stomach.
