This year Karwa Chauth will be celebrated on the first day of November. According to Hindu rituals, married women fast for their husband's long life and keep a Nirjala fast throughout the day. They spend most of their time in prayer, reading religious texts, and performing rituals. In the evening, they gather together to break their fast after seeing the moon through a sieve. Observing fast during Karwa Chauth is not just a religious practice but also a reflection of the strong bond of love and commitment between married couples. However, observing a fast throughout the day can drain all the energy out of you. Hence here are a few ways to keep yourself energetic throughout the day.
Eat sargi
There is a ritual in the Hindu culture that the women observe fast during Karwa Chauth, and eat sargi in the morning before sunrise. To give your body a dose of energy, do not skip sargi under any circumstances. Also, ensure that the Sargi thali contains nutritious food items that can provide you with energy to sustain the fast throughout the day.
Include dry fruits in your sargi
Dry fruits are the powerhouse of nutrients. So include almonds, nuts, cashews, pistachios, and walnuts in your Sargi. They not only provide nutrition but also give you energy.
Avoid sweets
Consuming sweets as a part of the Sargi should be avoided. It may give us hunger pangs later. In place of sweets, you might consume paneer.
Avoid having tea
Consume buttermilk or fresh fruit juice instead of cups of tea to stay hydrated.
Fresh fruits
Fresh fruits keep the body hydrated and energised. So, you can add this in your sargi too.
Warm water
To keep yourself hydrated throughout the day, have warm water in the morning.
Avoid going out
Since the fast is observed for more than 12 hours, try not going out on that day as it can create stress on your body.
