Benefits of Fasting:

By fasting, you give your body the opportunity to get rid of toxins, to keep a sane and balanced mind, and to redirect your time to spiritual ends. By fasting, you don’t have to spend time cooking, shopping for food and cleaning up after a meal. Instead, you can use this time to meditate, read or anything else.If you are on water fast (you live only on water, and no solids), it is beneficial to you since it eliminates addictions, any bad habits and unhealthy thoughts, besides also helping your palate recover its natural sensitivity to simple food. You now no longer crave for salt, sugar, fats and processed foods.In addition, fasting helps keep the passions in control, checks emotions and controls the senses too. Not only does it purify the mind but the body and heart too. Fasting is also a time when your body can do its internal cleaning. In fact, it is regarded as a medical procedure, comprising of restoring homeostasis, strengthening the immune system and healing illnesses and disorders. It cleanses the respiratory, circulatory, digestive and urinary systems, destroying impurities all over the body and eliminates uric acid deposits.
