What's one tiny habit that makes fasting days (upvas) easier for you?

If you observe occasional fasts for religious or personal reasons, what's one small, practical habit that actually helped you get through the day without feeling wiped out or overeating afterward? Examples: a specific drink you sip, a light pre-fast meal, timing chores differently, or a short walk—just one thing that consistently improved how the day felt.

Editorial

Tiny habit: before your fast, eat a small balanced plate with a low‑GI carb + protein + a little healthy fat (eg. poha/khichdi or whole‑grain roti with dal or curd/chaas and a few nuts). Sip water with a pinch of salt or a homemade electrolyte (lemon + salt + a touch of jaggery) through the day. Protein+fiber slow digestion and the salt helps prevent light‑headedness. If you have diabetes or hypertension, check with your doctor first.
