Experts Advise Heart-Healthy and Protein-Rich Food Choices for Navratri Fasting
During Navratri fasting, traditional foods like sabudana, kuttu puris, and fried snacks are common but may strain heart health due to high refined carbs, salt, and oil. Experts advise choosing protein-rich, nutrient-dense options such as dairy, roasted makhana, and whole fruits, while limiting deep-fried items and sugar. Maintaining strength through adequate protein intake and strength training is recommended. Healthier recipes and preparation methods, like roasting instead of frying, can support balanced nutrition during the nine-day fast.
