Many people observe a fast during Navratri, displaying devotion towards goddess Durga. Here are some surprising benefits of fasting that you should know
1. Detoxification: Since your body gets a break from processing heavy meals on an everyday basis, fasting helps detoxify the system.
2. Weight management: During fasting, we mainly resort to fruits or light meals, which are helpful in weight management.
3. Healing gut: Some fasting methods help in resetting gut flora, which ultimately promotes healthy bacteria.
4. Liver health: The Liver, a key detox organ, can rest during fasting. Therefore, it becomes more efficient in flushing out toxins and waste.
5. Better sleep pattern: A lighter dinner allows your body to process digestion more effectively, promoting better sleep.
6. Mental clarity: Fasting has been associated with mental clarity and enhanced focus as your body is not spending a constant energy on digestion, creating room for cognitive functions.
