As soon as the Shraddha Paksha is over, the devotees of Maa Durga will start preparing for the Navratri fast the next day. Let us tell you, this time the fast of Shardiya Navratri is going to start on 26th September. Different forms of Goddess are worshiped for 9 days in Navratri. It is believed that by worshiping Goddess Durga during Navratri and keeping fast, the wishes of the devotees are fulfilled soon. But do you know that fasting is not only related to religion but also to your health? Let us know what are the benefits of fasting for the health of a person and what is the right way to keep fast.

By observing Navratri fasting, the body gets these benefits-

The body is detoxified-
During fasting, if a person consumes liquids instead of foods, then his body will be detoxified. Not only this, by keeping fast in this way, along with improving digestion, stomach-related and skin-related problems are also less disturbed.

Helps in weight loss-
Fasting can be a good way to lose weight. Intermittent fasting can help in reducing the increasing fat. In this type of fast, beverages are consumed instead of solids.

Good for the digestive system-
According to research, 62.33 percent of the people did not have any problem with indigestion during fasting. While the problem of indigestion in 27 percent of people was also cured. Digestive disorders can also be overcome by fasting.

Maintain glow of the skin-
The effect of a person's food and drink is visible on his skin. Fried-spicy food can also cause problems like pimples and acne by snatching away the glow of the skin. In such a fast, the toxic elements present in the body come out and the lost glow of the skin comes back.

Lower cholesterol-
Fasting can also reduce the risk of cholesterol. Research suggests that a one-day interval of fasting can lower cholesterol. With this, triglyceride i.e. a type of fat and bad cholesterol can be controlled.

Keep these things in mind while fasting-
One should keep these things in mind to get the benefits of fasting.
If there is a problem with acidity or gas, then avoid drinking tea or coffee on an empty stomach.
People fasting for the first time should start with short or short periods of fasting.
