Agni, or digestive fire, is associated with the sun. In the morning, as the sun rises, digestion is not yet at its peak. This is a good time to have a light breakfast.
When the sun is strongest, from 12 p.m. - 2 p.m., the body’s digestive fire is also the strongest. This is the best time to consume the largest proportion of daily nutrients. Similarly, when the sun sets, the heat of the digestive fire softens into a cool, calm period of rest-and-digest.
