There was a kind of excitement with Teej, from childhood. Why fast? Who will take it? It didn't matter much. There was only one thing that made us talk, rate. The main thing was to be able to eat the rate of Teej.

However, today the situation is exactly the opposite. Now, interest in fasting or fasting has increased more than rates. Why fasting is not only related to tradition or faith but also related to physical health . 

Fasting benefits the body . But what fast? How to stay ? Who will live ? When to stay ? These are the main questions. Because there are different types of fasting. Some are fasting, who believe that not only water but also saliva should not be swallowed throughout the day . Some live by eating only fruits . Someone fasts even after eating a chaka. 

Fasting basically affects the stomach or digestive system . It relaxes the digestive system, which is essential for health. Similarly, it increases the sensitivity of insulin . 

When consuming food continuously, the stomach, intestines and related organs are constantly working, which can cause fatigue and indigestion. Fasting reduces the pressure on the digestive system and helps it to become active again. During this time the body begins to burn old fat and toxins, which improves digestion and gut health . Also, fasting is beneficial in reducing problems like flatulence, gas and indigestion by balancing the digestive juices .

However, in all cases, the body does not take such benefits . In some cases, fasting without drinking water causes dehydration in the body. This causes fatigue, dizziness. Weakness and stress levels increase . Sometimes the amount of glucose can also decrease . 

Similarly, those who don't have gastric problems can suffer from increased stomach acid. An important part of our body is water. When the water itself does not reach the body, there is a problem in it . So I personally do not recommend fasting without drinking water.

rates matter  The

rate is a confluence of dessert food in itself . It is customary to eat tar before fasting. But, what should be the diet before eating? It needs to be light, nutritious and digestible. Whole grains that don't quickly turn into glucose are ideal. By doing this, the body is given energy by that food for a long time . Such foods are those with skins, legumes, nuts etc. . 

Do not eat coffee, alcohol etc. It can cause dehydration problem in the body . 

What to eat on fasting? 

Some people fast even by eating only fruits . In that case, it is better to mix fruits with curd or mohi. Emphasis should be placed on seasonal fruits. If you feel weak in fasting, religious faith is on the one hand, but physical condition should be taken care of . Even if you don't eat anything else, you should drink coconut water. If the amount of glucose is low suddenly, you should eat a mixture of water with salt and sugar. 

What to do with diabetes and blood pressure?

Since you have diabetes and high blood pressure, you must consult your doctor before fasting. Similarly, if you are in contact with a dietitian, then fast only after consulting them. Are you doing regular health checks or not? If not, I suggest not to fast. Because fasting can be dangerous for you. 

Don't miss your medicine . You should rest at home as much as possible without going outside too much. 

Food after fasting  

Just like what should be the meal before the fast, the meal after the fast is also important . When breaking the fast, you should eat light, digestible food that is easily digested by the body . The fasting of the previous day and the food of the next day should act as a bridge . It should not be too heavy or cumbersome. You should eat liquid food rather than solid food. Like jaul, vegetable soup, soup etc .
