The reason why people fast on Ekadashi and don’t eat rice on Ekadashi<\/span><\/p>

As we have always said, Hinduism is mostly based on science. Hindu rituals are always based on some kind of science, and fasting on Ekadashi is no different.<\/span><\/p>

First, fasting on every Ekadashi cleanses the body of the person who does it every ten to eleven days, giving all the body’s systems, especially the digestive system, a day to rest. This type of fasting, in which individuals abstain from eating any grain at all for the duration of the day or consume nothing but fruits, assists in the cleansing of the body by keeping the digestive tract light.<\/span><\/p>

Second, there is an occurrence of a geographical phenomenon on Ekadashi. It is good knowing that the Moon is responsible for the periodic rising and falling of the water level in the ocean. The Moon’s pull on the Earth’s surface causes the tides to rise and fall. People also know that the Moon pulls water towards it. On the evening of Ekadashi, the moon is believed to be in a position that causes it to exert a particularly strong gravitational pull on the oceans and other bodies of water that are located all over the planet.<\/span><\/p>

Rice is a food that holds onto water. So, if rice is eaten on Ekadashi, the water in the rice grains could mess with the Moon’s gravitational pull, which would make it hard for people to digest. So, the founders of the Hindu religion said that you can’t eat rice on Ekadashi to keep your stomach from getting sick.
