Japanese cell biologist Yoshinori Ohsumi won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2016 for his research on how cells recycle and renew their content, a process called autophagy. Fasting activates autophagy, which helps slow down the aging process and has a positive impact on cell renewal.
All religions promote fasting during the year. Ekadasi, Purnima & Amavasya provide means to observe spiritual fasting. Each Ekadasi signifies a type of event in Hindu Calendar. The Ekadasi App describes easy means to learn and provides Date/Times for fasting.
