As per Dr Bhumika Maikhuri, Consultant Orthodontist, fasting isn't just skipping meals- it acts as medicine for body. It helps cleanse the gut, improve digestion, and repair cells through autophagy. Practicing fasting once a month, like on Ekadashi, with fruits and hydration, supports overall health, boosts energy, and aids cellular regeneration, making it a powerful Ayurvedic wellness practice.
