3) Bananas
Eating foods rich in potassium is a great way to prevent fatigue and exhaustion. Bananas are a great source of potassium. They are also rich in vitamin B6. As a result, consuming bananas helps in restoring energy during Navratri.
4) Sago
Sabudana is usually an integral part of fasting days. And, there is a reason for this. It has good amount of fiber. Hence it is a filling food. Also, it stays in the stomach for a long time. It also maintains the blood pressure level and prevents digestion problems.
5) frequent meals
Eat small meals, but increase the number of times you eat. Try to keep the gap between your meals small. In this way, the flow of energy continues in your body regularly.
