Staying Hydrated Is The Number One Tip
The biggest problem with people who observe a fast during Sawan or any other month is that they do not understand what to have after breaking it. They instantly hog on fried items like fritters, which might have adverse effects on your health.
Fasting helps detoxify your body, and by eating oily stuff, you invite stomach-related problems. Make sure you keep yourself completely hydrated throughout the fast. You can also add electrolytes to the water to keep you going throughout the fast.
As fruits can be eaten during fasts, make sure you do not skip them, as they can provide you with maximum energy. Avoid stress during fasts, as they can trigger situations that might be difficult to deal with.
