5 Tips for Healthy Fasting on Mahashivratri

Drink at least eight glasses of water while you are fasting so you can flush away toxins and waste. If you are fasting on water alone, the intake quantity can be increased to match your bodily needs. This will also help you stay energized. Dehydration can cause you to feel tired and hungry. But if your Pitta (acidity) levels are too high, fasting on water alone is not recommended since it releases toxins too quickly and leads to highly unpleasant detox symptoms.

Fasting with a variety of liquid foods is a healthier option for people who find it tough to go hungry or have health issues to consider. For instance, pregnant women, people with Diabetes, digestive issues, severe weakness, and so on. Include juices, milk, milk shakes, herbal tea, yogurt, or buttermilk in your diet to help you get through the fast.
