Intermittent Fasting
Eat less, eat correct, work more
Why Intermittent fasting?
Intermittent fasting is a new name but a very old way of consuming food. Your body and your brain work at their best only when your stomach is empty. We always make sure that we eat in such a way that however much we eat, our stomach must always be empty within two to two-and-a-half hours’ time. For any correction and purification that needs to happen in the body, your stomach needs to be empty. This is very important. Otherwise, the purification on the cellular level will not happen. You will pile up things and then you will get all kinds of problems.
All American doctors say that you must sleep for a minimum of seven to eight hours. That means that you slept away one-third of your life. Another three-four hours are spent in bathing, toilet, eating and other things, so literally fifty percent of your life is just maintenance. Most people have made their systems into a nuisance. Their own body is a big impediment in their life. Their body will not allow them to do what they want to do.
There are many aspects to this, but one important aspect is that people are eating much more than what they should, simply because they have been told, “You must eat more; otherwise you will become weak.” Today everybody is trying to work towards a more fuel efficient car. This means that if the machine runs smoothly, it will consume less fuel. If you sit here and you are very much at ease, now it will consume less fuel. If you are not at ease, then the body will consume more fuel, it will want you to eat and the act of eating will become compulsive.
Intermittent Fasting Plan
An individual below the age of 30 must eat only 3 times a day. If you are over 30 years of age, two good meals a day will suffice – one in the morning and one in the evening. There must be three hours gap between the evening meal and your bedtime. If this includes at least 20 to 30 minutes of light physical activity – such as simple walking – your system will largely be healthy.In Yoga, a minimum of eight hours’ gap between one meal and the next meal is recommended. If you do this, you will see that, whatever health problems you have, a minimum of fifty percent will go away in six weeks’ time. If you have a little yogic practice, something meditative within you, then you will see that ninety percent of your problems will go away.
What to eat?
It is best to consume vegetarian food as it is easy to digest ang gets absorbed by the body very easily. Non-vegetarian food requires comparatively much more energy for digestion. There should be higher amount of raw food in your meal and lesser amount of cooked food items. Fruits, vegetables and nuts should be your first priority. Make sure what you eat is fresh. If you eat too much, your body has to spend a lot of energy to digest the food. Therefore, eat less in order to make your body light and healthy.Health is not something you can do from the outside. Health is something you have to do from within. You can seek some help from outside when something goes wrong, but if all the time something is wrong with you, this means that you are a faulty machine.
