🙏 Upvas Mein Kya Khayein Aur Kya Avoid Karein? 👩⚕️
Doctor Rates Popular Indian Fasting Foods! 🌿
Sabudana Vada, Sweet Potato, Varai, Fruits, Dry Fruits, Rajgira, Potato Chips and Singhada. But are all these fasting foods equally healthy? 🤔
Just because something is allowed during fasting doesn’t automatically make it nutritious!
👩⚕️ In this reel, our doctor compares popular Upvas foods based on their nutritional value, ingredients, cooking methods and overall health benefits.
🥔 Sweet Potato (Shakarkand) – Fibre and complex carbohydrates.
🌾 Varai (Sama Rice) – A fasting-friendly grain alternative.
🍎 Fresh Fruits – Vitamins, minerals and fibre.
🥜 Dry Fruits & Nuts – Healthy fats, protein and essential nutrients.
🌱 Rajgira (Amaranth) – A source of protein, fibre and minerals.
🌰 Singhada (Water Chestnut) – Carbohydrates and some essential minerals.
🥟 Sabudana Vada – Energy-rich, but deep-frying adds extra fat.
🍟 Potato Chips – Often high in salt and fat, so best limited.
💡 Remember: Fasting doesn’t have to mean compromising on nutrition. Choose balanced meals, watch your portions and pay attention to how your food is prepared.
