Benefits of Fasting

Fasting is a way of learning to control your natural urges such as hunger and thirst. It is then easier for you to resist temptations for things which are not necessary, such as drugs or other unhealthy or harmful substances and behaviors.

Fasting is a way of experiencing hunger, developing sympathy for those less fortunate and learning thankfulness and appreciation for all of God's bounties.

Fasting is also beneficial to the health and provides a break in the cycle of rigid habits or overindulgence.
