The video discusses the benefits of 16-hour fasting, also known as intermittent fasting. The speaker, Subah, explains that this practice has been followed by our ancestors for thousands of years and is now backed by scientific studies. The benefits of 16-hour fasting include:
1. Giving relief to all organs, allowing them to function properly and reducing the risk of diseases.
2. Increasing productivity by conserving energy, as digestion is the heaviest process in the body.
3. Proper absorption of nutrients, as the stomach gets a break and has space to digest food properly.
Subah also shares three ways to double the benefits of 16-hour fasting:
1. Drinking detox juice two hours before breaking the fast.
2. Eating dinner before 6 pm to align with the body's natural digestive fire.
3. Eating Satvic food, which is living, wholesome, plant-based, and water-rich, during the 8-hour eating window.
The video also addresses frequently asked questions, such as:
* Who should follow 16-hour fasting? (Everyone, except children under 16, underweight people, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, and people who need to build their body.)
* How to deal with acidity, headache, and weakness during the initial days of fasting? (Give your body time to adjust, increase water intake, and use wet pack and enema.)
* How long should one do 16-hour fasting? (As long as you wish to be healthy.)
* Can the fasting window be different every day? (Try to maintain the same window, but it's okay to adjust occasionally.)
The video concludes by emphasizing the importance of being patient, calm, and happy while fasting, and not forcing others to do so.
