Pace of life these days is really very fast. You hardly have any time to take care of yourself, your body, your mind. So, how would you like if you get an easy way to take care of your god-gifted body and soul?
'Ayurveda Sutram' recommends deep breathing and fasting for maintaining good health, and to recover health for those who are sick. When we talk about fasting, we will have to differentiate between fasting and starving. Fasting doesn't mean suppressing hunger or to remain hungry. Fasting will be fasting only with the involvement of one's mind.
Fasting purifies the body by getting rid of the toxins and there is no loss of the vital organs or tissues. There should not be any restriction for water intake during fasting. Soon after fasting one should not go for a heavy meal at once. One should start with fruit juices, tender coconut water, vegetable soups or buttermilk as long as the digestive power remains the same. When you feel hungry you should change to slightly heavier food. This is because during the fast, the digestive organs have very little power to digest and time should be given to recover their digestive capacity.
