News India Live, Digital Desk: Sawan month of Shiva Bhakti is going on these days and its fasts on every Monday are not only a symbol of religious faith, but also have precious benefits for our health. According to Ayurvedic experts, the fast performed during Sawan is extremely beneficial for both our physical and mental health. The principles of Ayurveda emphasize the body to cleanse the body naturally. The month of Sawan is a change in nature and rain, which often weakens our digestive system. In such a situation, our digestive organs get the necessary rest by keeping fast. It works to clean the body from inside and remove all toxins, which improves digestive capacity and we avoid stomach problems. A relaxing digestive system digests food more effectively, which reduces complaints like gas, acidity and heaviness. By keeping the glory, our body’s metabolism is also improved. When we do not eat for some time, the body uses fat stored for energy, which helps in losing weight. In addition, mental concentration and inner peace also increase during fasting. This helps us to free us from stress and anxiety, and a calm mind is essential for overall health. What is eaten during these fasts is also important for health. Fruits, milk, yogurt, cheese, sago, kuttu flour, water chestnut flour, and fruits give energy to the body, but do not put much burden on them. It is equally important to ensure that you keep yourself hydrated by taking enough water, juice, coconut water etc. during the fast. At the same time, abstinence from some things is very important; Non-vegetarians, alcohol, onion-garlic, heavy grains and processed and spicy foods should be avoided. In this way, the fast of Sawan Monday is not only worshiping Shiva, but also an Ayurvedic path to provide purification, balance and new life to your body and mind. It teaches us how we can keep our health perfect with spiritual discipline and proper diet.
