This year Karwa Chauth will be celebrated on the first day of November. According to Hindu rituals, married women fast for their husband’s long life and keep a Nirjala fast throughout the day. In the evening, women worship the moon and then break their fast by offering Arghya to the moon. In most places, women break their fast by drinking water from their husband’s hands, but this should not be done. Actually, after observing Nirjala fast for the whole day, one starts feeling weakness in the body. In such a situation, breaking the fast with water will not give you immediate energy.
If you don’t want to feel weak immediately after breaking the fast, then instead of water, you should break the fast with any of the following.
Coconut Water
Coconut water is rich in minerals. That is why it is more beneficial while breaking the fast, one should drink coconut water instead of plain water as it provides instant energy.
Pomegranate juice
If you break your fast with pomegranate juice, you will not feel weak. This will also remove fatigue and laziness from your body.
Lemonade
If you want to drink water immediately after breaking the fast, then give priority to lemon water. Drinking lemon water provides vitamins and minerals to the body, which helps in providing instant energy.
