Navratri Fasting: Avoiding Common Pitfalls and Maximizing Health

Navratri fasting is a time for cleansing and devotion.

However, people sometimes make mistakes that make them feel heavy and tired, like eating too many fried foods or potatoes.

Instead, focus on light, sattvic foods like kuttu flour, prepared by steaming or roasting.

Kuttu, which is gluten-free, is the star of Navratri, providing energy and nutrients, especially when eaten with something cooling like curd.

Stay hydrated with water or herbal teas, and remember the purpose of fasting: to cleanse the body and mind.
