断食 / fasting
断食 (danjiki) means fasting, a practice of voluntarily abstaining from food for a set period. In the context of intermittent fasting, 断食 is used to regulate eating patterns, often for health benefits like weight management, improved metabolism, and digestive rest. Popular methods include the 16:8 approach, where one fasts for 16 hours and eats within an 8-hour window. Rooted in both tradition and modern health trends, 断食 promotes mindful eating and overall well-being.
