- 500 to 700 ml more water is released from the body instead of sweat while playing garba.
- Consuming lemonade or ORS and taking special care of mosquito bites is imperative
- Sportsmen should not enter Garba ground with full stomach food
In Navratri, sportsmen take some care when worshiping Mataji in dance so that there is no disturbance in their worship. Also, they can do 9 days of non-stop fasting. It is necessary for the sportsmen to take some care while standing on the garba ground for this dance worship of the nine days of Navratri. Sandeep Shah added that while going to play the garba, do not go with food on a full stomach, going to the ground with a full stomach in the garba ground can cause stomach upset to the sportsmen. For this it is imperative to have light meals at intervals. Apart from this, it is imperative to have breakfast after some time in the countries of Garba who started to have breakfast immediately at the interval.
These salts are lost in sweat
Normally during the day 1000 ml of water is lost from the body through sweat. Along with it, salts like sodium potassium also flow from the body along with sweat. Hence, 500 to 700 ML of water flows more from the body of Garba players i.e. 15 to 17000 ML of water is sweated. So sportsmen should take lemon sharbat (sugar and salt) while swimming. Or ORS can be taken. This will not make you feel tired and you can play garba with enthusiasm. After playing garba it is necessary to get enough sleep. Minimum sleep of seven hours is good for sportsmen.
Avoid mosquitoes while playing Garba
During this period, when going to play garba, anti-mosquito cream should be applied on the body to avoid mosquitoes, while it is also imperative to wear gloves on the feet as the possibility of mosquito bites on the feet is high.
Adult players should enter the field only after having their blood pressure checked
Elderly athletes who suffer from blood pressure disorders need to take special care. As the upper blood pressure increases to 180 to 200 while playing garba, the possibility of cardiac attack has increased. Therefore, they should get into the garba only after measuring the blood pressure. If the upper BP is 130 and the lower is 84, then the blood pressure can be called normal.
