Throughout Gandhi's life, there was a strong influence on the mind, body, and self-resistance. Gandhi did not support Western
culture or medicine because he was fighting for an independent India. He also had strong moral and religious justifications
for health and why it is so important to the body. In addition, he believed that vegetarianism was the best way to eat pure
foods to cleanse the body and was the natural was man was intended to eat. Another way Gandhi believed was a means to purify
the body was by fasting. He did this not only for religious and medical reasons, but also for influential reasons, in order
to create an independent nation.
