2022 Janmashtami –  food delights worth avoiding

Skipping breakfast or tea is a very good option as you will be fasting throughout the day; skipping tea or breakfast will avoid acidity or gastric problems.

It is hard to resist the tasty delights of vrat but if you have high cholesterol issues then skipping them for your good health is totally worth it. Instead consuming fruits, milk and juice will help you provide the required nutritions.
