Fasting on Karwa Chauth this Thursday? 🌙 Read this first.
For most healthy women, a one-day fast is safe. But every year in my OPD, I see women who should have fasted differently:
🤰 Pregnant or breastfeeding? Avoid a nirjala fast. Ask your gynae about a phalahar or water fast instead
🩸 Diabetes? Check your medicine plan with your doctor first
🌸 PCOD? Choose a protein-rich sargi and break the fast gently
🦋 Thyroid, low BP or anaemia? Take your medicines as usual, and consider a water fast
🚨 Break your fast right away if you feel dizzy or faint, your heart races, or your baby moves less than usual.
Love and devotion should never cost you your health. 🤍
Save this, and send it to someone fasting on Thursday. 👇
