We always keep ourselves on toes to meet our daily needs. We stay busy to meet the deadlines. But to fulfill our scheduled work, we forgot to take care of our body. Our body needs to relax at least once in every six months. However, thanks to our festivals which brings in up such enthusiasm to do so.
Navratri is one such festival in which we can enjoy as well as can take good care of our health by naturally detoxifying your body with Navratri fasting. Detoxifying means removing the toxins from your body and cleansing it just by consuming a particular diet.
Navratri is a festival of joy, happiness. It is the festival where puja of Maa Durga is performed. This festival lies in between the change of seasons and hence, to get used to such climate change, we are fasting for 9 days in which we only consume fruit & liquid diet.
Here’s the diet by Dr. Smita Naram, founder of Ayushakti Ayurved, which will help you in your fasting. These nine days are meant for detoxifying your body which includes cleansing, nourishing and building up.
