The month of Sawan is going to end in just a few days. This month is called the month of Shiva, in which devotees of Bholenath perform travel, fast and worship to please him. Hariyali Teej is celebrated in Sawan itself, which is very special for Suhagan women. On this day, women fast for their husband’s long life and happiness and prosperity. This time the festival of Hariyali Teej will be celebrated on 27 July.
Women observe Nirjala fast on greenery Teej. But during the fast, there are some common dalpas related to food and drink that women often do. These mistakes can affect health. Therefore, if you too are fasting on greenery Teej, then there is a need to avoid some dalpas. Let us tell you in this article, which are those mistakes and how to avoid them.
Empty stomach will have to drink tea and coffee
There is a tradition of eating and drinking before starting the fast. In such a situation, some women drink tea or coffee on an empty stomach at this time. They feel that they will not have a headache by doing this and will have energy all day. But this is wrong, because the intake of tea coffee on an empty stomach can increase acidity. So eat something first and then consume tea or coffee.
Do not eat heavy food one day before the fast
A day before the fast, some women overwings. That is, she eats too much food thinking a day before that you have to fast tomorrow. But doing so affects the digestive system. Also, the next day the body seems dull and tired. So eat light and digestible food and avoid overwriting.
Do not eat fried and beautiful things while opening the fast
In the fast, only sattvic food is appropriate. But after opening the fast many times, women eat spicy and fried andish things, which directly affect their digestive system. Therefore, if possible, first drink lukewarm water to open the fast. Then eat things like fruit or khichdi.
Excessive consumption of sweet is also harmful
To be sweet and taste it on every special occasion is a tradition. Sweets like ghevar, Malpua, rasgulla are well liked on greenery Teej. But if you have kept the fast, do not eat too much sweet after opening the fast. This can increase blood sugar level. Especially if you are diabetic.
It is important to relax in fast
Even after fasting some women, they are busy in household chores all day. From cleaning to worship, the whole day passes. But if you are keeping Nirjala fast then the body needs rest. Excessive tired can cause weakness and dizziness.
