Fasting on Simple Food

Another form of fasting is to consume a simple diet over an extended period of time. Unlike water and juice fasting, this method is better for individuals who are weakened by disease or age, in both children and adults. It is the best approach for those of vata prakriti and also anyone under any kind of stress, such as working or going to school. Eating simple diet avoids the consumption of complex foods or potentially problematic food combinations that can play havoc with digestion, promoting the creation of toxins.
