Karwa Chauth 2024: Essential Fasting Tips and Nutrition Advice

This year's Karwa Chauth highlights the importance of safe fasting practices and balanced nutrition for married women observing the ritual.

Karwa Chauth involves a day-long fast from sunrise to moonrise, traditionally observed by married women for their husbands' well-being.
Pre-fast nutrition is crucial, with emphasis on consuming complex carbohydrates, protein-rich foods, and hydrating fruits to sustain energy.
Hydration is key, with recommendations to drink coconut water or lemon water before fasting and incorporate hydrating foods in the pre-dawn meal.
Breaking the fast should be a gradual process, beginning with water or coconut water and followed by light, easily digestible foods like fruits and dairy products.
Women are advised to be mindful of hormonal health, avoiding strenuous activities and opting for stress-reducing practices during the fast.
