Do you know what Navroz is? 

If you are a Parsi, you probably do. But if you are not, you might be wondering what this festival is all about and how it can help you improve your diabetes wellbeing.

Navroz, also known as Nowruz or Parsi New Year, is a celebration of the first day of spring and the renewal of nature. It is observed by millions of people around the world who follow the Zoroastrian faith or have Persian roots. In India, Parsis celebrate Navroz twice a year: once in March, around the time of the vernal equinox, and once in August, according to the Shahenshahi calendar .

Navroz is not just a cultural or religious festival. It is also a time to reflect on your life, your health, and your goals. It is a time to cleanse your body and mind from the toxins and negativity of the past year and embrace a new beginning with optimism and gratitude. It is a time to make positive changes in your lifestyle that can boost your diabetes wellbeing and prevent complications.

How can Navroz transform your diabetes wellbeing in 21 days or less? 

Here are some tips that you can follow to make this festival a catalyst for your health and happiness.

1. Start with a detox. 

Navroz is a perfect opportunity to detoxify your body from the harmful effects of sugar, processed foods, alcohol, and other substances that can spike your blood glucose levels and damage your organs. You can follow a simple detox plan that involves drinking plenty of water, eating fresh fruits and vegetables, avoiding caffeine and nicotine, and taking herbal teas or supplements that can cleanse your liver, kidneys, and colon. A detox can help you lower your blood sugar levels, improve your digestion, boost your immunity, and enhance your mood.

2. Set realistic goals. 

Navroz is also a time to set new goals for yourself and your diabetes management. You can use this occasion to review your current diabetes care plan and see what areas need improvement. You can also consult your doctor or diabetes coach to get expert advice on how to achieve your desired outcomes. Some examples of realistic goals are: reducing your HbA1c level by 1%, losing 5% of your body weight, increasing your physical activity by 30 minutes per day, or learning a new skill that can help you cope with stress. Make sure that your goals are SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.

3. Follow a balanced diet. 

Navroz is also a time to enjoy delicious Parsi cuisine that is rich in flavor and nutrients. However, you don’t have to compromise your diabetes wellbeing by indulging in unhealthy foods that can raise your blood sugar levels and cause weight gain. You can still savor the traditional dishes like Farcha (fried chicken), Berry Pulao (rice with berries and nuts), Jardaloo Chicken (chicken with apricots), Dhansak (lentil curry with meat), or Lagan nu Custard (baked custard) by making some smart modifications. For example, you can use whole grains instead of white rice, bake or grill instead of frying, use low-fat dairy products instead of full-fat ones, use natural sweeteners instead of sugar, and limit your portion sizes. A balanced diet can help you control your blood sugar levels, prevent cravings, maintain a healthy weight, and provide essential vitamins and minerals for your body.

4. Practice gratitude. 

Navroz is also a time to express gratitude for all the blessings in your life. Gratitude is not only a virtue but also a powerful tool that can improve your diabetes wellbeing. Studies have shown that gratitude can lower stress levels, increase happiness, enhance self-esteem, strengthen relationships, and promote physical health. You can practice gratitude by writing down three things that you are thankful for every day, sending thank-you notes to people who have helped you or inspired you, volunteering for a cause that you care about, or meditating on positive affirmations. Gratitude can help you cultivate a positive mindset that can motivate you to take better care of yourself and overcome challenges.

5. Celebrate with joy. 

Navroz is also a time to celebrate with joy and enthusiasm. Joy is not only an emotion but also a medicine that can heal your body and mind from the effects of diabetes. Studies have shown that joy can lower blood pressure, boost immunity, reduce pain, improve sleep quality, and increase longevity. 

You can celebrate Navroz with joy by participating in the festive rituals and activities that Parsis follow. Some of these are:

– Cleaning and decorating your home with flowers, candles, mirrors, and other symbols of prosperity and happiness.

– Wearing new clothes and accessories that reflect your personality and style.

– Visiting a fire temple or an agiary to offer prayers and donations to the sacred fire and the priests.

– Exchanging greetings and gifts with your family and friends. 

– You can say “Navroz Mubarak” or “Happy New Year” to wish them well.

– Enjoying music, dance, games, and other forms of entertainment that can make you laugh and have fun.

Navroz is not just a one-day affair. It is a 21-day period of renewal and transformation that can help you improve your diabetes wellbeing and quality of life. 

By following these tips, you can make this festival a meaningful and memorable experience that can inspire you to live your best life with diabetes.
