Sawan Somwar: Healthy tips for fasting

Several devotees observe fast every Monday during the holy month of Sawan to seek blessings from the Lord Shiva.

Here are some healthy tips for fasting on Sawan Somwar.

Stay hydrated

Consume drinks like coconut water and lemon water to stay hydrated while fasting. Such drinks help boost electrolyte levels in your body and refresh you throughout the day.

Eat Fruits

Consume fruits like bananas, apples and pomegranates to boost your energy levels during fasting.

Eat Nuts

Nuts such as almonds, pistachios, walnuts, and figs are a good source of healthy fats, proteins, and dietary fibre. They can help keep you satiated and energised.

Avoid Spices 

Spices can lead to heartburn and discomfort during fasting. Opt for milder flavours and seasonings to prevent any gastric issues that can arise during fasting.
