Fasting: It’s Not Starvation, It's Maintenance

Forget the religious motivation for a second. The ancient system of Ayurveda prescribed fasting simply because the gut needs a break! If your stomach never gets time off, toxic buildup happens. A day of fasting lets your body hit the pause button on digestion and kick into a natural process called autophagy (which literally means "self-eating"). This is your body's clean-up crew getting rid of damaged, useless cells. It’s the ultimate internal system reboot!
