How Fasting Benefits Us
How Fasting Benefits Us
- Trayodashi or Ekadasi Upavas or Fasting @ year 2016 Nobel Prize in Medicine @ What's the connection??
- The year 2016 *Nobel Prize in Medicine* has gone to a Japanese scientist *Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi* for his research on *AUTOPHAGY*.
- Autophagy, an Intracellular Recycling System otherwise means "eating self". In other words, the process by which the human body eats it own damaged cells and unused proteins. Autophagy is a natural process and also one which occurs in cases of starvation. The failure of Autophagy is one of the main reasons for accumulation of damaged cells which eventually leads to various diseases in the body. Autophagy is important to prevent/fight cancer and also plays a vital role in degrading and 'consuming' cells infected by bacteria and viruses.
- We have to observe here that ancient India had recommended a practice of fasting (Trayodashi or Ekadasi) one day in a fortnight. Many of us religiously follow this practice to this day as a penance for spiritual progress without any idea of the biological and therapeutic benefits of this practice. Through this process of fasting induced Autophagy, our body repairs it's damaged and degenerated cells or uses up the proteins of the damaged cells for its survival.
- Whenever modern science conquers a frontier in any field, it somehow relates back to a quaint spiritual practice followed in India for generations.
A day in a fortnight spent in prayer and divine contemplation was a tonic for the mind and soul while the practice of fasting ensured that the body would heal and rejuvenate itself.
- Clearly, our ancient Rishis believed in a process of holistic healing of both the body and the mind. They were able to, quite remarkably, connect the yearning for spiritual progress in a human being with the biological necessity of the human body. One cannot but marvel, and bow one's head with admiration and reverence, at their wisdom and deep scientific understanding of the body and the mind.
- We may afford to forget and ignore our glorious past, but with every research, every other day by the world scholars, the magnanimity of our civilization is opening before the present day humanity.
- It is time to revisit the country's Ancient Tradition; called Bharatvarsha.
