During the Navratri fasting period devotees are allowed to eat Sattvic foods. And while some people prefer to have a meal only once a day, others keep on snacking throughout! ‘Vrat chips’ for breakfast, sago rice for lunch, ‘cholai laddu’ for dessert, and the munching just goes on. Now, it is important to remember that although one can eat Sattvic food throughout the day, one should not overeat that Sattvic food throughout.
The whole idea and goal behind fasting is to cleanse your system, give your immune system a little rest time, and improve your overall health. And if people just keep on munching on ‘vrat-approved’ snacks, nothing good will come out of it. So, avoid overeating, have one or two light meals in a day, and try to keep your internal system as clear as possible.
