So important for health healing so important for evolution and better feeling. Intermittent fasting has once again stormed from nations across where people want to eat at the interval of 12 to 14 hours. This is nothing but old Ayurveda practice of eating one good meal a day and that too if it is vegetarian, plant based, vegan nothing like it. Health and healing is all about cleansing at the most cellular level organ level regulating your organs and functions and systems.
