It happens very rarely when we get a chance to connect our body to the soul. Navratri is a very auspicious time of the year and marks the beginning of the festival season. All the rituals designed for the festival are a great way to clear the human body and mind of all negativity. It is often said, what we eat reflects greatly on our personality. After a whole year of unhealthy eating, Navratri gives us a chance to cleanse our body of all impurities and toxins. As the name itself suggests, during Navratri, the nine pure and virtuous forms of Durga are worshipped for nine days. The Navratri puja vidhi also includes fasting or the Navratri vrat. The kanjak puja or the kanya pujan in Navratri also means to worship the purest form of Durga by offering them meals and doing pooja. The eloquent Navratri puja that goes on for nine days, fills the soul with positivity. The body and mind have a deep connection and during this time, both are at peace. This year Chaitra Navratri 2021 begins on the 7th of October 2021, make sure you do not miss this opportunity to heal. Here are a few ways how Navratri leaves a positive impact on your life. 1- Proper meals. The normal flour is usually replaced by the Amarnath atta, kuttu ka atta packets that suddenly become popular in the Indian supermarkets during the festive season and can be put to various uses. But make sure to not cook pooris out of it. Much healthier alternatives to the commonly consumed pooris or paranthas are dosa and uttapam. You can also use sabudana in place of the usual singhara atta for diversity. Eating less oily food helps clear your skin and gives it a festive glow. 2- Healthy snacking The best way to replace your everyday snacks is to have fruits instead. It is advisable to have at least 3-5 fruits per day during your vrat. You may customize your fruits by making a salad out of them or adding some condiments or lemon to it. Fruits are a great way to clear your body of toxic substances and keep yourself hydrated or energized for your Navratri garba and other rituals. 3- Power of dry fruits Dry fruits are often considered a powerhouse or a great source of various vitamins and minerals. Not only this, but they also have a plethora of health benefits. However, eating the correct quantity is very essential. Overeating can also harm your body in ways. You can find the best quality dry fruits from Made By Farmer on the online supermarket of Rozana.in at discounted prices. 4- Better alternatives Another way to live healthier this Navratri is to switch your sugar. You can always use jaggery or honey rather than the normally processed sugar. Spices such as black pepper powder, cumin, cinnamon are a powerhouse of antioxidants and protective foods. They add health and taste to food as well as aiding indigestion. 5- Break your fast with something healthy and light Many of us usually follow the pattern of having one meal per day. So it is necessary that you try to break your fast with some fresh fruits or nuts like almonds, pistachios, cashews, walnuts, etc. This helps keep your body energized to get you through the day. Just because you have fasted through the day doesn't mean that you eat through the night. Now you can find the best quality nuts from Made By Farmer on the online supermarket of Rozana. Prefer a light meal with vegetables, dahi, and some cereal grains. Quinoa can be used as a salad on the side. Use milk or a light samai kheer for a bedtime snack. This will help keep you light and keep your digestion in top shape. 6. Hydration hype No matter how much you eat, the body needs to be kept hydrated. With all the excitement and pooja happening around us, we usually forget to drink adequate fluids. Low-calorie fluids like fresh lemon water, for its Vitamin C, and coconut water with its sodium, potassium, and calcium, rehydrate and cleanse. Green tea is a rich source of catechin, a strong antioxidant, making it a perfect drink to detox. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices preferably help you ace the antioxidant quotient of the day. You can drink papaya muskmelon juice, grape juice, orange juice, or tomato juice. And then of course water, the major element. It can often get very stressful to cope up with the pooja, the shopping, and work-life altogether during the festival season.
