It was a sacred practice, a survival mechanism, a healing tool, and a path toward mental clarity. Ancient yogis practiced it. Greek philosophers recommended it. Warriors embraced it. Religious traditions preserved it. Across continents and centuries, civilizations repeatedly discovered the same profound insight: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the body is deprived of excess, the mind awakens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut modern society has drifted far from this understanding. We live in an age of endless stimulation, endless distraction, and endless consumption. We eat not because we are hungry, but because food is always available.
