Fast days require preparation and recovery. Nutrition before a fast supports focus and steadiness. Nutrition after a fast restores strength and balance. Care on both sides protects the body.
Before a fast, simple meals help digestion and reduce strain. Balanced foods and steady hydration prepare energy. Heavy or salty foods increase discomfort. Calm eating supports readiness.
After a fast, the body needs gradual return. Light foods ease digestion. Water restores balance. Slowing the transition preserves clarity and prevents fatigue.
