A Jain practice of eating dinner before sunset and fasting overnight turns up at a cancer treatment center, where staff say finishing digestion early lets the body heal itself at night. The speaker's childhood routine matched what the Hippocrates Health Institute uses as part of their protocol for serious illness.
I was born and brought up in a Jain family, and there was one ritual that I used to observe. All the elders in my house used to follow, and that was they used to eat their dinner by sunset, and they wouldn't eat anything till sunrise the next day. Fast forward to many years later, I went to this institute called Hippocrates Health Institute, where people suffering from big, big diseases used to come, from cancers to tumors. And one thing I noticed there, 6 PM every day the dinner was laid out, 7:30 PM every day dinner was cleared up. And when I Asked them what allows people to heal, they explained an early dinner is one of the most crucial parts of their healing regime. Even diseases like cancers, this early dinner was able to help in reversing them because when you have an early dinner, your body at night doesn't have to keep digesting, digesting, digesting. It can finish digestion work and then get on to what? Healing and cleansing you from within.
