Is fasting the right approach for you?
It could be exactly what you need.
How fasting supports YOUr body
In Ayurvedic medicine, both intermittent and extended Upavasa (fasting) have been used for thousands of years in physical and spiritual therapy, to produce "lightness of the body and the mind".
Your digestive organs are the largest organs in your body. They require a tremendous amount of energy to function and also need rest.
Resting your digestive tract by fasting frees up energy to be used for healing.
Freed-up energy is used to improve your metabolism, burn away toxins, and support a strong immune system.
As energy increases and your mind becomes clearer and more focused, it becomes easier to make the right choices to continue to thrive.
BUT! There is no One-Size-Fits all approach.
The right approach to fasting depends on what's currently going on in your gut. In Ayurveda there are three commonly seen groupings of symptoms. Which type of digestion do you have?
Qualities of Vata-type digestion:
- bloating/ gassiness/burping

- acidity or burning pain in the stomach

Qualities of Kapha-type digestion:
- low hunger

TAKE CAUTION: FASTING IS NOT FOR EVERY BODY
Fasting can be incredibly healing. But when done improperly, it can be harmful.
Ayurveda emphasizes that improper suppression of natural urges like hunger can cause vata imbalance or regulatory problems with digestion.
Fasting MUST NOT be used in individuals managing disordered eating or binge-and-restrict cycles of eating.
For the highest benefit, fasting is only applied to reduce ama (toxins) or to alleviate symptoms of imbalanced metabolism. As fasting is lightening, it can be depleting for those who are very young, very elderly, pregnant, breastfeeding, currently menstruating, underweight, or undernourished. Though it may be of good support, you may wish to consult your doctor about fasting while managing chronic illness.
