12 Hour Overnight Fasting - World's Best Detox

What to do?

Don’t eat after 8 pm till 8 am the next day. This naturally creates a gap of 12 hours between two meals.

Why is it important?

Digestive power diminishes after sunset in India. Food eaten post-sunset generates sticky toxins or AMA as per Ayurveda.

Also, Detox works when you’re asleep. The body diverts all energy towards full-body detoxification when it's at rest as it doesn’t have to work on digesting food in the stomach or other daily chores when you're awake.

Also remember

• Overnight fasting of 12 hours daily helps flush out toxic waste, rejuvenate cells and restore metabolic power
• 24 hours fasting once a week is a great toxin killer. Fix a day of the week most convenient for you. Drink 4-5 liters of water while you're fasting. Anything other than water will dismiss the detoxification process.
• Consume ayurvedic medicine immediately after the evening meal to maintain the 12-hour gap. 

Fun fact

Ayurveda defined 5 natural elements to balance Tridosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) for healthy living

• Air for oxygen
• Water for hydration
• Fire for Sunlight
• Earth for food from plants
• Ether to create space through fasting

Also, 

Different Indian religions in ancient times linked fasting to some sacred day of the week. Somvar ka vrat. Mangalvar ka vrat. Linking it to religious beliefs made it easier to fight food temptation to give up midway.
