Health 101: Phases of Fasting – Health Benefits and Bodily Changes

Intermittent Fasting Health Food

Fasting triggers distinct health benefits depending on the duration. Within the first 12 hours, the body depletes glycogen stores, lowers insulin levels, and begins shifting to fat-burning while improving insulin sensitivity. By 16 hours, fat oxidation accelerates, mild ketosis often begins, and many people notice reduced appetite and better blood sugar control. At 18 hours, ketone production increases noticeably, supporting brain function and mental clarity. Image source: Reddit

Religion 101: Sadhguru and Zakir Naik Compared

Sadhguru – “We don’t need more Hindus, more Christians, or more Muslims – we need more Buddhas, more Jesuses, and more Krishnas – then there will be true change. Every human being has that inner potential”

Read These First:-

Sadhguru

(All the characteristics of a Yogi and more – Sadhguru has it all but he is also practical and a man who uses science as means to the end. He explains the basic of science & the impact clearer to a layman than in a science book – Image Source: Quora)

I have been following up with the teaching & speeches of Sadhguru in the past few years, not because he talks about Hinduism alone – most of the times he doesn’t even mention Hinduism – but rather he is one of the first Hindu Yogi who spoke more sense and does not shy away from the real issues that confront the world today – economy disparity, the abuse of power and worsening of the environment and the impact on humans.

Yes at the same time, he infuses the teachings and way of life as a Hindu in his talks but it is done very implicitly in forms of the laws of the universe, yoga, dharma and morality.

(When one talk about slavery, one would think of the era of Kunta Kinte but reality, unfortunately, is far from this in the modern world. The worst is in Asia. Image source: Youtube)

If you ask me, the idea of slavery after the millennium is rather shameful, considering we have passed the millennium and on (a rather rocky) path to be a developed country.
