Navratri is here again and we must decide which foods to eat and which to avoid.
Have you noticed that both the Navratras come during season change - from winter to summer and again when the air just begins to get nippy - and our immunity is at a low.
That is why the Navratri eating rule of avoiding processed food, meats, going gluten free (no grains), salt free or low salt, and having lots of fruits and vegetables actually helps our bodies buff up the immunity and also give it a much needed period of rest and rejuvenation.
In addition some of the allowed foods during the navratra fast have a lot going for them. Let’s decipher them one by one.
The basic 2 rules to follow:
Keep yourself hydrated; it is very easy to get dehydrated during these narrates as the mercury has soared suddenly. Buttermilk is a good option too.
Eat small, regular meals as they will help maintain blood glucose levels and ensure you are fueled up to go through the day.
