The eleventh day of every lunar month is considered a spiritual day in Hinduism and is called Ekadashi. Ekadashi is a day of partial or complete fasting and this fast is not only about food but also about restrictions on the five networks, their organs and also the mind. On Ekadashi days, the body is more easily purified, so it heals, renews and rejuvenates. Ekadashi is not a diet but a spiritual fast. According to the Hindu calendar, this day comes 24 times a year or twice a month. Fasting is easy on Ekadashi days, and fasting helps improve the digestive, respiratory and circulatory functions.

Acid reflux is a condition that occurs due to the reflux or the backflow of the acidic contents from the stomach into the esophagus. It is also called gastroesophageal reflux disorder or GERD. The common symptoms caused by this condition include heartburn or burning sensation in the chest, nausea, vomiting and sour eructations. If not treated properly, it can cause significant damage to the delicate mucosa of the inner lining the esophagus. Since the mucosa of the esophagus does not have the ability to withstand the strong corroding nature of the stomach acid, it can easily get damaged resulting in ulceration. In some cases, it can also cause cancer of the esophagus.
