Chhath Puja is one of the most sacred festivals of India, celebrated to worship the Sun God and Chhathi Mai. This fast is not only a symbol of reverence and devotion, but it also requires physical energy and mental strength to observe it. Fasting for long periods of time, preparing for puja, and praying for hours while standing on the banks of a river or pond can be challenging for the body. In such a situation, problems like fatigue, weakness, dehydration and dizziness may occur. Therefore, along with devotion on this holy occasion, it is very important to take care of your health.

1. Eat light and nutritious food before fasting
Before starting the fast, it is necessary to take a light and nutrient-rich diet. This provides adequate energy to the body and one does not feel weakness during the fast. Eat pulses, rice, green vegetables and seasonal fruits during this time. Avoid fried and spicy food, as it can cause problems in digestion.

2. Take care of water and hydration
Water is not consumed during Chhath Puja, hence there should be sufficient amount of water in the body before fasting. Drinking coconut water, lemon water or fruit juice along with water helps maintain electrolytes in the body and reduces the chances of weakness or dizziness.

3. Eat fruits and dry fruits

Fruits and dry fruits contain natural sugar and fiber, which provide instant energy to the body. Consuming fruits and dry fruits like dates, raisins, and bananas before and after fasting is very beneficial, as they give strength to the body and reduce fatigue.

4. Get enough sleep
Often one does not get enough sleep while preparing for puja, due to which the body gets tired. Therefore, it is important to take adequate sleep before starting the fast. Good sleep keeps the body fresh and the mind also calm, which leads to better focus and concentration in worship.

5. Take care of mental health
During Chhath Puja, mental health is as important as physical health. Stress and anxiety can quickly deplete the body’s energy. Therefore, practice techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing, which will keep you mentally strong and focused as well.

6. Eat light food while breaking the fast
Eating heavy or spicy food immediately after fasting puts pressure on the stomach and can cause problems in digestion. While breaking the fast, first eat light and simple food, like small amount of fruits, jaggery, rice etc., and then slowly eat the rest.

By adopting these simple measures, you can safely complete the Chhath Puja fast with devotion and devotion, and also take good care of your health.
