Benefits of Sitting on the Floor While Eating.

                          Benefits of Sitting on the Floor

While Eating.





1 Aids indigestion

Sitting down on the floor, with crossed legs (Sukhasana) helps in improving our digestion process. When you sit on the floor and bend forward to eat and go back to your natural position. This back and forth movement helps muscles in the abdomen to secrete digestive juices, and helps in digesting the food properly and quickly.



2. Promotes weight loss

When you fail to realize when you are full, you end up eating too much. This is due to the inability of the vagus nerve to perform its functions. Now when you sit on a table and chair, this nerve does not function properly. Sitting on the floor while eating ensure better functioning of this nerve. As a result, you do not overeat.





3 Improved circulation
One of the most important requirements of your stomach for digestion is proper blood circulation. Sitting on the floor is the way to go for this. Sitting on a chair and eating makes blood circulation going in the opposite direction.







Improves the body posture
Sitting cross legged in itself is an Asana When we sit on the floor our posture is automatically corrected making our back straight, lengthening our spine and pushes back our shoulders, beating all the common aches and pains that come with bad posture

The Science Behind Weakly Fasting in Hinduism: A Mind-Body Journey

           Weakly Fasting in Hinduism: Science and Scripture Weakly fasting, often referred to as Upavasa , is a common practice in Hinduism with both spiritual and scientific benefits. It involves abstaining from certain foods or all food for a specific period, typically a day or two per week. While the reasons for fasting vary across different Hindu traditions, the science behind its potential health advantages is increasingly being recognized. Scientific Benefits of Weakly Fasting: Cellular Repair and Autophagy: During fasting, your body enters a state of ketosis , where it starts burning fat for energy instead of glucose. This metabolic shift triggers cellular repair mechanisms called autophagy , which remove damaged cells and proteins, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's.
