Navratri is as celebratory as it is spiritual. The festival actually comes around five times in year but is celebrated only twice. The fasting ritual has its roots in science and Ayurveda. The festival strategically falls during the shift in weather and climatic conditions. It is the time when the body is low on immunity. Therefore, the laws of Navratri fasting are framed around the idea of giving the body a much-needed break in order to recuperate and fortify for the upcoming season.However, it is very important to ensure that you eat right on the days that you are not fasting. Many Navratri foods are actually overtly rich and can be prepared in unhealthy ways. Conversely, you must ensure that you get the required number of calories from your daily meals and the essential nutrients that your body needs. Our exclusive nutritionist-crafted 5-Day Menu is especially designed keeping all this in mind. Follow a single day’s meal plan or all of them, you will find yourself energetic through the day and feeling healthier.Day 1
