In this article we'll examine how fasting can reawaken your body's internal rhythms, support hormone balance, boost clarity, and foster long-term health and wellbeing.

Why reset feels just right

A holistic health approach aims for balance. A reset isn't about restriction – it's about offering your body a pause to recalibrate. This gentle reboot reflects the natural cycles our bodies have adapted to over millennia, such as eating in harmony with our circadian rhythm, while being backed by modern science.

What science says about fasting's reset power

Amchara's gentle and sustainable approach to fasting

  • Start slow: Begin with a 14 hour fast (during much of which you are typically sleeping). Try stopping eating at 6pm and having breakfast at 8am.

  • Eat whole foods: In your eating window, choose natural, unprocessed food that contain plenty of fibre, protein, healthy fats and vitamins.
  • Keep hydrated: Make sure you sip plenty of water, herbal teas during fasts to maintain your hydration levels.
  • Move mindfully: Avoid tiredness by doing gentle exercise, such as walking, yoga and focused breathwork.
