How to Prepare for the Fast: Fasting is not meant as an "affliction" or punishment; it is a form of teshuva, & allows us to concentrate on our spiritual, rather than physiological side on this day. To prepare properly, drink at least 8 full glasses of water on erev Tisha B'Av & avoid caffeinated beverages and salty foods such as lox, pickles or pretzels.
