Although nine days of fasting is considered very good for detox. But still, due to eating different from the normal routine, the body has to face some side effects. Constipation, flatulence, headache etc. are some common problems that people often experience during fasting. However, some home remedies are very effective. But the consumption of many things is prohibited during fasting, so home remedies also have to be chosen carefully. So let's know some such common problems and home remedies to cure them. After 9 days of fasting, when suddenly many problems start occurring after eating food. 

1. Constipation
It is quite common to have digestive problems like constipation during the nine days of fasting during Navratri. Changes in the regular diet, especially the lack of fiber and fluids, can cause problems in bowel movement. Apart from this, dehydration and lack of physical activity, all cause constipation. During the fast, people consume more fatty foods, which can make them difficult to digest completely.

Home remedies: If you are fasting and you have constipation problem, then first of all drink enough water. Apart from this, choose some food options during the fast which have sufficient amount of fiber, like buckwheat flour and fruits. If you want, you can drink lukewarm milk or water by adding a spoonful of ghee to it. This will relieve constipation. Along with this, it is also important to remain physically active.

2. Flatulence
It is important to eat pure and simple food to detox the body during Navratri. But nowadays people have started consuming fried and processed food. In the name of fasting, various types of dishes, especially chips etc. are available in the market, which increase toxins in the body. But digestive problems, especially flatulence, can bother you more.

Home remedies: If you have a problem of bloating during fasting, take a walk without eating or drinking anything and drink hibiscus flower and lemon tea. This will give you relief. Apart from this, take care of your digestion while consuming any kind of food and eat light homemade food instead of fried, roasted and processed food. If you are making tikki, then instead of deep frying it, fry it on a pan in light ghee.

4. Dehydration
Navratri fasting is for 9 days and it is quite normal to have the problem of dehydration during these days. Most people start drinking less water than usual while worshiping. But during this time your body needs more water. Because you eat late and consume only a few types of food items. During this time you may feel dehydrated as well as weak.

Home remedies: No matter how busy you are, you should pay attention to the time of drinking water. Especially when you feel thirsty, drink water immediately, do not wait for too long. To overcome dehydration, you can resort to coconut water, butter milk and herbal tea. Apart from normal water, consuming herbal drinks will help you stay hydrated for a long time. Along with this, many important nutrients are also found in these drinks, which will be absorbed in your body and increase energy.
