Health News Desk, Chhath, the great festival of worship of Sun God, is starting from tomorrow i.e. 5th November 2024 with Nahay Khay. This four-day long festival will conclude on November 8. Women observing this fast observe a waterless fast of 36 hours for the happiness and prosperity of their family, longevity of their children, good fortune and a happy life. In such a situation, if you are a diabetic patient and have decided to perform Chhath Puja, then keep these special things in mind to keep your health good along with faith.
balance diet
During Chhath Puja, mostly traditional foods like Thekua, Chura, Jaggery etc. are consumed. But sugar fanatics should eat such things only in limited quantities. Instead of this, consume natural sweets like dates or dry fruits. Choose items like jowar, millet and whole grains in your diet, which have low glycemic index. Such foods digest slowly and help in keeping the blood sugar level stable.
Regular checking of sugar level
It is very important to keep checking the sugar level regularly during Chhath Puja. If the blood sugar level of a diabetic patient starts becoming too high or too low during the fast, then consult a doctor.
doctor’s advice
Diabetic patients are generally not advised to observe Nirjala fast. Even during Chhath fast, people remain without eating or drinking anything for a long time, which can be harmful for the health of diabetic patients. In such a situation, if you are a sugar patient and want to observe Chhath fast, then first consult your doctor.
avoid overeating
Many times, after fasting for the whole day, people eat excessive amounts of food while breaking the fast. But sugar patients should avoid doing this. Diabetic patients should eat food in small quantities and take care of medicines so that the sugar level does not increase suddenly. ,
stay active
To keep your body active during Chhath Puja, keep doing light exercises or stretching. By doing this, blood flow improves and the energy level in the body also remains good.
