Experts Explain Metabolic Effects of Navratri Fasting and Post-Festival Nutrition
Experts highlight that Navratri fasting involves complex metabolic changes, including fluctuations in insulin and glucose regulation. While traditional vrat foods like sabudana and fried items are often high in starch and fats, they may lead to feelings of heaviness despite fasting. Nutritionists caution against quick-fix detoxes or crash diets post-festival, emphasizing balanced nutrition and supervised approaches to support healthy weight management and metabolic health.
