Dear ,

In this humid, heavy season, your body isn’t asking for emptiness.

It’s asking for ease.

And yet everywhere you turn, there’s a new “detox fast” making the rounds. But if you’ve felt bloated, foggy, fatigued, or emotionally scattered lately, this is your sign:

Your gut isn’t grateful, it’s crying for help.

But Fasting Isn’t for Everyone

You should avoid fasting completely if you:

🚫 Are pregnant or breastfeeding

🚫 Have uncontrolled diabetes or thyroid imbalance

🚫 Are underweight or healing from an eating disorder

🚫 Take strong medications or have adrenal fatigue

🚫 Tend to binge after a fast or feel anxious when you skip meals

In these cases, fasting doesn’t heal - it hijacks your body’s survival signals.

What Your Gut Really Needs This Season:

✅ Calming meals (not chaos)

✅ Herbs like tulsi, fennel, coriander, ajwain & ginger

✅ Regular mealtimes to anchor your nervous system

✅ Hydration that heals, not depletes

Try these 2 simple gut-loving rituals today:

1. Morning tonic:

1 tsp soaked chia seeds + pinch of pink salt + 1 tsp lemon juice in a glass of water.

This calms gut inflammation and clears sluggish bowels gently.

2. Midday hydrator:

Fresh coconut water + 1/4 tsp soaked sabja (basil) seeds + 1-2 drops of lemon.

It replenishes lost minerals, hydrates your cells, and calms your gut lining - perfect for post-lunch fatigue.

Fasting is a tool, not a shortcut. And if used wrong, it costs your energy, mood, and mental clarity.
