The 11th day of the waning moon( Krishna paksha) & the 11th day of the waxing moon(Shukla paksha) is called EKADASHI.
This falls every 15 days, twice a month.

WHY FASTING?
From EKADASHI until the FULL MOON DAY
& from EKADASHI until the NEW MOON DAY.
There is an increased high tide in the oceans, the waves rise very high.
This is because the moon comes closer to the Earth & pulls the water towards itself by force of gravity.
We all know that the human body is made up of water( 70 %)
The moon has a strong influence on the water during the above days.
If we eat grains, they absorb water, which can create diseases due to the moon’s gravity attracting the water.
According to science, it takes about 3-4 days for the food that we eat today to reach our brain.
Now, if we fast on Ekadashi days,
that intake will reach the brain correspondingly on the New moon/full moon day.
⭐️Physical:
It’s scientifically proven that our body needs rest from digestion.
Undigested food( poison)/ excess food turns to poison, fasting release the toxins.
Fasting allows the digestive system to adjust, realigned & REJUVENATE itself,
which is very good for health & mind.
⭐️Spiritual & mental :
For a meditator /yogi, a clean body, an alert, & a relaxed mind are important.
⭐️With no food, you will feel LESS lazy/sleepy, you will feel MORE vibrant & alive.

Telomeres — Junk DNA
Telomeres are like little caps on the ends of our chromosomes.?
They protect genetic information from becoming damaged during cell replication.
The length of junk DNA decides the age of a person.
With each division of the cell, we are losing a part of the telomere. (AGEING)
Once this telomere strand is completely used up in cell divisions we reach the end of our LIFE.
*If we reduce the calorie intake, the cell division rate also goes down.
Intermittent fasting (once every 2 weeks for 36 hours) can increase the life span.️
