Eat fresh fruit and nuts
To keep the body energized, it is recommended to eat fresh fruits or even nuts. They are useful for increasing energy levels and also protect the immune system. You can eat apples, blackberries, bananas, grapes, walnuts, almonds and dates.
Give food
According to experts, giving food and water is a noble act. And when you observe fast, it is recommended to feed the needy. It helps to provide happiness and prosperity. Also, during Janmashtami fasting, the feeding of the cows is considered noble as the cows are very close to Lord Krishna.
Milk and curd
The Janmashtami celebration is incomplete without milk or curd. While fasting, you can enjoy smoothies made with fresh fruit or drink sweet lassi.
Salty snack
Although many people quickly observe the nirjala (avoid food and water) in Janmashtami, there are people who eat vrat ka khana. If you are the last, you can enjoy sabudana papad, sabudana khichdi, kuttu paratha or samak rice cooked in desi ghee and sendha namak to keep your body healthy and energized.
Do not:
Avoid meat and eggs
Most Hindu festivals are celebrated with fruit and vegetarian festivals. Despite rapid observation, the consumption of meat and non-vegetarian food is strictly prohibited.
Avoid onion and garlic
The party or bhog prepared for the Janmashtami festival does not use onion or garlic. It is recommended not to use or consume onion and garlic while watching Janmashtami quickly.
Avoid tea or coffee
During fasting, many people consume tea or coffee to keep the body active. According to experts, enjoying both drinks should be avoided as they create acidity and can cause discomfort, weight and headaches during fasting.
Avoid fatty foods
Fasting food is often rich in flavors and uses a lot of oil and ghee. According to health experts, these vrat oil foods should be avoided to keep the gut healthy and prevent laziness.
