Experts Discuss Karwa Chauth Fasting, Fertility, Nutrition, and Emotional Support
Karwa Chauth fasting holds cultural significance, but its impact on women's fertility varies. Experts say short fasts generally do not affect fertility in healthy women, while prolonged fasting and inadequate nutrition may disrupt hormonal balance. For women undergoing fertility treatments like IVF or IUI, timing medication and maintaining hydration are crucial. Nutritional guidance emphasizes a balanced pre-dawn Sargi meal with proteins, whole grains, fruits, and fluids to support energy and hydration. Emotional support between partners during fertility challenges is also highlighted as beneficial.
