Health Benefits of Fasting- Ganesh Chaturthi Special
Ganesh Chaturthi Wishes
Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi, is a Hindu
festival that reveres Lord Ganesha. The festival is celebrated with much
fanfare and zeal in India, particularly in the southern states of Maharashtra,
Tamil Nadu, Goa and Kerala. The auspicious occasion is celebrated every
year on the chaturthi (fourth day) of the Krishna Paksha. On Ganesh Chaturthi,
many devotees observe fast, seeking health,
wealth and prosperity. Some people abstain themselves from drinking water.
This is called Nirjal Vrat. During this period, devotees also strictly refrain
from eating non-vegetarian food and alcohol.
Fasting
has been a part of the human tradition for many, many centuries - as a religious
practice. But it may be noted that fasting offers a plethora of health
benefits, including weight loss and reduced risk of diseases. This has been
supported by a number of studies. We bring you a list of health benefits of
fasting to keep you going strong and healthy.

blood pressure.

of chronic diseases such as diabetes,
cancer and heart problems.

organs can interfere with organ function, however, fasting helps you reach
ketosis, the fat-burning state.

Fasting also leads to a feeling of physical lightness, increasing
energy level.

Fasting improves body composition in several ways, primarily
through its actions on hormones
and fat metabolism.

connection.
Although the benefits of fasting are widely hailed by
nutritionists worldwide, there is also numerous health risks linked to it,
particularly, intermittent fasting. Talking to your doctor before engaging in
any form of fasting is important, especially, if you have a severe medical or
health concern.
