From ‘Healthy Living. According to Gandhi’ by Gandhi



Walking gives movement to every portion of the body, and ensures vigorous circulation of the blood ……Walking a mile or two is no walking at all; at least ten or twelve miles are necessary for exercise.

As most fevers are caused by disorders of the bowels, the very first thing to do is to starve the patient. ………In fever the digestive organs are very weak, the tongue gets coated, and the lips are hard and dry. If any food is given to the patient in this condition, it will remain undigested and aid the fever. Starving the patient gives his digestive organs time to perform their work; hence the need to starve him for a day or two.
