The 9-days Navratri fasts have begun and so has the season to cleanse your mind and body. While you take care of your mental health through spirituality, it is imperative to ensure that you get the right nutrition to continue with the fasts. While pulses, rice and grains are not allowed during the fasting period, no onion and garlic rules are also followed. And of course you cannot have non vegetarian food. But you can have an alkaline diet that includes nuts, fruits, dairy products and gluten free buckwheat flour. However most households end up consuming fried food, which defeats the whole purpose of fasting and turns it into a feasting affair.
