*In the modern world, there is increased food consumption, especially the consumption of junk food that cause increased stress on our metabolism. The normal human body has sufficient capabilities to remove most metabolic toxins if upawasa (fasts) are observed periodically. These fastings help “clear the backlog” of excess strain put on our bodily systems, quite like the way an office clerk clears his backlog of work on a specific day when there is no new work. An ''upavasa'' (fasting) is a custom that helps make people abstain from heavy meals. While light aerobic exercises are very good in expelling toxins accumulated in the body by way of sweating and calorie consumption, fastings help provide relief to our digestive systems.

*Use of fats as a solvent: There are two types of solvent in biochemistry - polar and non-polar. Among polar solvents, water is the best while among non-polar solvents, ketones (intermediate metabolic products of fats) are the best solvents. These solvents, during their course of internal administration, may react with cellular and metabolic debris and convert them into a soluble form that could be easily excreted out through urine, faeces or sweat by means of [[Panchakarma]] procedures.

*Use of fats as a high energy substance-Oils and fats yield 9 KCal energy in contrast to 4.5 Kcal from carbohydrates and proteins, which could be expended as a substitute or replacement source of energy during purification procedure.
