Sargi, pre-early food, is the right time to load on those fruits that contain high water content. Fruits like watermelon, cucumber, oranges and grapes are more than 90% water and can help keep your body hydrated. They also provide essential vitamins and natural sugars that promote your energy.
2. Eat milk based sargi items
Milk is packed with nutrients and contributes to hydration. Include milk or milk -based foods like kheer, cheese or curd during your sargi. These foods provide moisture along with protein and calcium, which makes you feel complete and hydrated.
3. Use coconut water (before fasting starts)
While you cannot drink water or liquid during fasting, drinking coconut water before fasting starts is a great way to hydrate. It is naturally rich in electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium, which helps to maintain fluid balance in your body.
4. Include soaked dried fruits and nuts
Dry fruits like almonds, raisins and apricots absorb water when soaked overnight. Eating these soaked dried fruits in sargi helps in providing hydration, fiber and healthy fats. They slowly leave moisture while keeping their energy stable.
5. Pre-election to hydrate herbal tea
Herbal tea made of materials such as chamomile, mint, or fennel can hydrate and calm your digestive system if consumed before fasting. Avoid caffeine-based tea as they can dehydrate you.
6. Add moisture vegetables to your sargi
Vegetables such as cucumber, latus, celery and tomatoes are packed with hydrating and antioxidants. Preparing a light salad or raita with these vegetables will help in adding hydration and nutrition to your fast day meal.
7. Use ghee to maintain moisture and energy
Including a small amount of ghee (clear butter) in your head helps in maintaining energy and moisture in the body. It helps in digestion and makes you feel satisfied, which can indirectly help your body manage hydration better.
Bonus Tip: Avoid excessive heat and physical activity
To make hydration hacks effective, try to live indoors or in a quiet environment during the day. Avoid excessive physical activity to reduce water loss through sweat.
