1) Hydration: Hydrating your body is a must. Long periods of fasting deplete the body's water reserves. As a result, it is essential to break the fast by sipping small amounts of water and then rehydrating the body so that it is ready to digest food again. Remember to sip your water instead of gulping it.
2) Juices: After a prolonged fast, unsweetened fruit juice or coconut water are good options, as direct fruit adds too much fibre to the body. The natural sugars in them replenish the body's lost energy throughout the day and are also high in electrolytes.

4) Soups: Homemade vegetable soups are also healthy for providing the body with the necessary nutrients.
5) Fermented food: Fermented foods like curd should come next on the list because they benefit the gut.
6) Nuts: When it comes to breaking a fast, flavoured, roasted, or salted nuts are ideal. Because they are high in calories and healthy fats, a handful is enough to revitalise the body. Furthermore, the riboflavin, zinc, magnesium, and other nutrients in these nuts supplement the body's lost nutrients.
