Fasting has a longstanding history amongst various cultures and religions and has some amazing benefits but…
It’s important to understand the long term affects of fasting, when it is healthy and when it is damaging.
Ayurveda recommends a 12-14 hour daily overnight fasting —> finish your dinner by 6-7pm and avoid consuming food until 7-8am the following day.
Long or extreme fasts can cause severe damage to your digestive fire (especially when done without supervision) as well as cause complications with hormones, blood sugar and metabolic issues.
