News India Live, Digital Desk: During Navratri fast, people often consume too much tea or coffee, which can cause dehydration and acidity. You can try these natural beverages instead:

Benefit: It is rich in potassium and magnesium, which prevents muscle cramps and gives instant energy.

2. Mint Chaas

If you use rock salt in your diet, buttermilk is a great alternative.

Benefit: Mint keeps the stomach cool and improves digestion. It also protects you from heat stroke in the scorching afternoon sun.

3. Almond-Date Shake

If you are not observing Nirjala fast, then this shake will work as a ‘power meal’ for you.

Benefit: Dates are a source of natural sugar and almonds provide healthy fats. After drinking this you will not feel hungry for a long time.

4. Shikanji (with rock salt)

Lemon water or Shikanji is a great source of Vitamin C.

Benefit: It helps in removing toxins from the body. Instead of sugar, you can add some honey to it so that calories remain low.

5. Fruit juice or smoothie

Do not drink tea on an empty stomach: This may cause stomach irritation and gas.

Do not eat too much fried food: Be sure to consume curd with buckwheat puri or sago vada.
