Ayambil; Jain fast, its possible health effects

Ayambil is a form of Jain spiritual and religious practice that encompasses austerity (Tap) and fasting (Upavas). It is a form of intermittent fasting in which one meal of boiling grains is consumed without the addition of any dairy products, sugar, ghee, spices, curd, milk, or raw vegetables. The current study reflects Ayambil’s health advantages, which have a lot of room for further study. The autophagy phenomenon, which is related to fasting, may have a role in the body’s rejuvenation, recycling, and elimination of harmful waste. As in Ayambil, intermittent fasting improves inflammatory markers. Intermittent fasting can be beneficial for inflammatory disorders including acute myocardial infarction and other atherosclerotic vascular diseases. Fasting is one of the interventions for better health and for disease conditions. One treatment for illness conditions and for better health is fasting. Ayambil also recommends a particular diet that affects brain energy usage patterns, intermittent metabolic switch effect, chrononutrition, and phytonutrition. In addition to intermittent fasting, ayambil fasting offers numerous other health benefits that help the body and the mind. Reduction in weight, blood pressure, stress, insulin resistance, and Neurogenin-3 (Ngn3) signal expression are all advantages of it, and the latter promotes pancreatic cell regeneration activity. The spiritual, psychic, and neurological benefits it produces will promote wellbeing and whole-person health.
