Yom Kippur Tips

Yom Kippur is an amazing Yom Tov.! How wonderful that G-d gives us 1 day a year that's like a "spirtual car wash". Through abstention from physical pleasures (like eating) and connecting to G-d through prayers we truly become like angels. In order to have the physical stamina for this spiritually uplifting day follow the tips below:

1. Eat properly in the days preceding the fast
2. Drink plenty of water the entire day before
3. Eat high water content fruits and vegetables 
4. Eat high carb foods for long term energy
5. Avoid spicy and greasy foods before fasting
6. Avoid caffeine, salt, and alcohol before fasting
7. Prepare your post fast meal in advance so it's ready 

What to Eat Before Yom Kippur

As you plan what to eat before your fast, be sure to include lots of carbs and fat. Yes, you read that right "CARBS and FAT". While a diet high in fat and carbohydrates and fat would be a big mistake on a usual basis for most of us, before Yom Kippur it is just what our body needs. Be sure to drink plenty of water and eat fruits that are high in water content as well. It's important to eat and drink all day the day before Yom Kippur to prepare your body for the rigors of the day ahead. Chicken Soup with noodles and matzoh balls (gluten free) is a great way to start this meal. Below are some recipes for high carb, food allergy friendly foods.
