What are the things to be remembered while fasting?
There are certain aspects in a fast which one has to be careful. • Avoid all fried foods and maida (white flour) based foods on fasting days as they create acidity, weight gain and toxins in the body which are even more damaging than the same eaten on regular days. • Avoid eating lot of heavy foods when you break the fast as the heavy foods are most likely to create a sudden imbalance in the system because the digestive process is not ready for sudden surge of food after prolonged fasting. In fact water retention, blood pressure fluctuations and toxin accumulation can be caused if one does incorrect fasting. • Avoid too much sugar and too much salt after a fast. • Use natural cleansers in the fast like tulsi (holy basil), adrak (ginger), amla (indian gooseberry), methi (fenugreek leaves), wheat grass juice to aid the rejuvenation process. • One should avoid stimulants like excessive talking, loud noises, tea, coffee, smoking, alcohol etc. Tea/Coffee lovers can substitute it with herbal
