Answer:
our Digestive system starts from the mouth and passes through a long tube (Alimentary Canal) and ends up in the anus. Besides it includes specialized organs like Liver, Pancreas etc. for the secretion of digestive enzymes which perform the process of digestion. When we are diseased as any other systems of the body, like respiratory, circulatory systems, the digestive system also cannot function properly. Enzymes are either not produced or they cannot do their work. In such a condition taking the usual food by a person means giving additional burden to the system. The food remain undigested. This increases the disease. That is why it is said taking less food is good to get cured more easily. Even if we are cured it takes a period of gestation for the system to come to normalcy. During this period also it is advisable to take less food. In Ayurveda ‘Upavasa’ (fasting) is a part of their treatment. During Upavasa we cannot take solid food, but light drinks (coconut water, fruit juices etc.) only.
