  While breaking the fast it is important to consume foods that help restore the nutritional balance. Drinking large quantities of water suddenly can be troublesome or having high calorie food could affect your metabolism. Coconut water is a good way to break fast as being rich in natural electrolytes like sodium and potassium, it's a perfect boost for your energy levels, advises Kanika Malhotra, Celebrity Nutritionist and Weight Loss specialist.

  A powerhouse of nutrients, dry fruits can also give your body much needed energy rush. You can consume 5-6 almonds or 1 date or 1 fig after your fast, says Malhotra.

  Consuming sautéed leafy vegetables after a day-long fast can be beneficial for you while chamomile tea, green tea, jasmine tea should definitely be consumed post your dinner to aid digestion, according to nutritionist. (Read more)

  Karva Chauth fast is not advised for pregnant women who are undergoing a lot of changes in their body and may face health issues due to not having water throughout the day.

  If pregnant women still want to go ahead with the fast, they should not skip water during the fast and must consult their gynecologist, especially if they are struggling with any pregnancy-related health issue.

  "It is in fact, best to take advise from your doctor if you are struggling from any ailment or conditions or even if you are completely healthy," says Nutritionist Preety Tyagi, Lead Health Coach and Founder of MY22BMI.
