Ekadashi
As human being requires some rest at certain intervals of time to relax his mind and body, in the same way our Digestive system also requires some rest at regular intervals of time and this is what we call fasting. Our Rishis were very much concerned about our health and had designed various ways keeping it fit, out of which fasting is one. They also fixed the day on which it has to be done. This day is called Ekadashi, the Eleventh day from Full-moon or Black-moon day. Now this has been proved scientifically. Below are the details.
Scientific Reason
According to calculations moon moves 12 degrees in 24 hours. On the eleventh day he will be between 120 - 132 degrees. This position of Sun-Moon and Earth is called Tricone (Triangular Position) stithi. During this period moon has maximum influence on Earth. Moon is known to influence mind and water. You might have observed that on Full-Moon Day or Black-Moon Day tides in ocean are very high. It is due to the affect of moon, the power of attraction by moon is very high, which has been scientifically proved. Since human body is made up of 80% water it is also affected by moon, especially on that particular day. Very delicate Digestive organs are more attracted, due to which food does not digest properly if present and human body suffers from various diseases. To avoid this it has been suggested to fast on that particular day. By fasting body develops heat which helps in destroying various micro-organisms harmful to body. By depriving the body of food for a time ,the organs of elimination are given opportunity to expel, unhampered, the overload of accumulated waste from the system. During fast body feeds upon its reserves. Being deprived of needed nutrients, particularly of protein and fats, it will burn and digest its own tissues by the process of autolysis or self-digestion. The building of new and healthy cells are speeded up . The capacity of the eliminative organs is greatly increased as they are relieved of the usual burden of digesting food and eliminating the resultant wastes. You might ask why on that day and not on other days? The reason is obvious. From that particular day the attractive power of moon starts and as said "Precaution is better than cure". In order to avoid any health related problems in future fasting has been suggested on that day.

Researches made by Western Scientists on "How health improves by fasting" "....Starvation is a form of medical treatment was mentioned as long ago as 400 B.C. by Hippocrates, the Greek father of Medicine and the people have been arguing the pros and cons ever since." "....One firm believer in it is Grant Sarkisyan of Armenia - He used controlled starvation to combat many diseases including Diabetes, obesity and Gangrene often drastically reducing the usual doses of insulin and even cutting out altogether. His cure consists of first a Spartan diet and then a growing amount of food based on the patient's individual needs."Source-D.H. 29-1-1978
Dr. Arnold Eheret, the originator of the muscusless diet healing system, describes it as " nature's only universal and omnipotent remedy of healing" and "nature's only fundamental law of all healing and curing. " In fact this was known and told by our ancestors long before Hippocrates or Dr. Arnold Eheret.
How do we perform this Fasting ?
This falls on the eleventh day from Full-Moon or Black-Moon day and we can get this information from Panchanga. On this day neither food is consumed nor water . Next day early in the morning food is consumed. This is the actual way to perform fasting. But this can't be performed at once, we need to practice this. If not possible to fast completely some food in the form of banana or milk is taken, but in limited quantities.
Who can perform this ?
Anybody on this earth who is born as Human being. This is not concerned with any particular religion. It is common to all human beings. This is a way to be healthy.
