After the 25-hour Tisha B'Av fast, experts advise breaking it gradually with water, natural sugars, and a light meal to avoid digestive discomfort and dehydration.
- 01Break the fast first with room-temperature water or warm herbal tea and natural sugars like dates or honey.
- 02Wait 30-60 minutes before eating a light, easy-to-digest meal such as broth or light dairy and vegetable dishes.
- 03Avoid fried, processed, and heavy foods to prevent heartburn and bloating.
- 04Eat slowly and chew well since fullness signals take 20 minutes to reach the brain.
