The holy month of Sawan is known for worshiping Lord Shiva. It comes after the month of Ashadh as per the Hindu calendar.
During Sawan the devotees seek blessings of Lord Shiva by offering prayers, observing fasts and paying visits to temples.
Whereas the entire month is special, the Mondays are particularly important for devotees of Lord Shiva.
Many devotees observe fast on Mondays, but after observing fast for the whole day in the rainy season, they may face many problems like stomach pain, gas, constipation, indigestion, sleeplessness, lethargy, and exhaustion.
Before breaking the fast in the evening, it would be better to first make lemonade. The lemonade or orange juice will get rid of the acid that builds up in an empty stomach. The antioxidants and vitamin C will help you stay hydrated and strong all day long.
Opening your fast on empty stomach with 2-3 dates and a couple of bananas will give you instant energy from it. Moreover, the weakness and stomach problems will also be relieved.
Protein and carbohydrates present in kheer will give you instant energy and will also quench your hunger.
After observing fast the whole day, eating water chestnut and buckwheat flour puri will save you from gas and indigestion problems. It will also save you from acid reflux.
Eating light vegetables like pumpkin and squash after fasting the whole day will give you strength, as well as your stomach won’t hurt.
