In case you are fasting and keeping your non-vegetarian diet aside, here are seven food items that will help you get a healthy glowing skin in the month of Shravan
6. Dry fruits: Dry fruits like cashews, almonds, raisins and walnuts contribute to overall development of the skin. Cashews contain vitamin E and anti-ageing properties, which are beneficial for the skin. Raisins are rich in resveratrol, an antioxidant that slows down ageing. Dr Apratim Goel, a Mumbai based dermatologist and laser surgeon recommends people to have a balanced fasting diet comprising of milk, nuts, raisins, dates, and sabudana.
7. Cold Milk: This is one of the most important drinks to have during Sharavan. Drinking milk increases the nutrition level of the diet and helps attain a healthy skin. Anytime you feel an acid formation in the stomach or heartburn coming on during the fasting period, have a glass of plain cold milk without additives or sugar. It can also be consumed as the main drink in the morning or evening.
Stay away from high calorie foods during fasting month as such food items can weaken the immune system and lead to a dull skin.
