Fasting Tips for Janmashtami 2025: Sri Krishna Janmashtami is being celebrated across the country on August 16 this time. This holy date holds great importance for Shri Krishna devotees. According to the scriptures, on this day, the devotees celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna and observe the fast. During the fast, devotees stay and drink without eating anything throughout the day and open their fast only after the birth of Lord Krishna at night.

Janmashtami fast is considered very important and it is also called “Vratraj”. As you know, keeping fast is the faith of people, but it is also a matter to health.

If you do not take care of some things during the fast, then it can worsen health. Here 5 important tips are known from health experts, so that you remain healthy and energetic throughout the day on Janmashtami.

Take care of these 5 things that keep fast on Janmashtami:

Kamini Sinha, Senior Dietician of Noida’s well -known diet mantra clinic here, says that people should start preparing for it a day before keeping Janmashtami fast.

Vrati should avoid eating oily, fried and spicy foods before the day of Janmashtami fast.

Let me tell you, apart from these things, eat light, digestible and balanced diets like khichdi, fruits or curd and rice. This will give necessary nutrition to the body and will not feel weakness during the next day.

On the day of Janmashtami, eat some milk, dry fruits or bananas after worshiping, so that the body can get the necessary energy.

Regarding Janmashtami fast, Kamini Sinha says that the fast of Janmashtami is not usually nirjala and in such a situation, people must drink enough water throughout the day. This will keep the body hydrated and will not cause problems like dehydration.

Let me tell you, apart from this, eat healthy liquids like coconut water, without salt lemonade, buttermilk, fruit juice or basil water. This will help keep your body hydrated and prevent tiredness.

If you do not eat anything throughout the day, it can be harmful to your health. So try to eat something every 3-4 hours.

Janmashtami fast is religiously important, but keeping fast on this occasion is not good for everyone. People struggling with diabetes, blood pressure, heart problem or other serious diseases should avoid fasting Janmashtami.

Especially pregnant women and children should also avoid fasting. Because this can negatively affect their health. Apart from this, people who have weakness problems, do not keep fast without doctor’s advice.
