Navratri 2018: 9-Days Diet Plan
Navratri is one of the most important Hindu festivals in which nine avatars of Goddess Durga are worshipped. The 9-day saga also calls for rigorous fasting during the day. According to Ayurveda, the idea of observing fast is to prepare the body for the change of season, that may lead to low immunity and food items like grains, onion, and garlic attract sickness. According to experts, the same logic is applicable to the Chaitra Navratri that falls during the month of March-April every year.
According to health experts, the recent trend of ‘Packaged Navratri Food’, has added much harm to the human body and thus calls for a controlled diet during the 9 days. Here is your ideal ‘Navratri Diet Plan’ that will help detox the body and keeps you fit and healthy.
