Fasting

From a physical standpoint:

Fasting is about increasing your bodies ability to strengthen itself.

It is about baseline insulin!

A periodic 18-24 hour fast is a fantastic way to support a healthy insulin baseline.

It doesn't have to become extreme, to be extremely beneficial!

Once per month is a great start!  24 hours!

A lot of research in the benefits of a regular fast!

From a spiritual standpoint:

It is also beneficial to occasionally put your body into gentle submission.

I once heard it said that:  "Fasting without prayer is just going hungry!"

There is gratitude for life and creation and heavenly blessings in a regular fast!

Asking the creator for blessings and help during a fast is spiritually enriching.

Millions donate money that they would have spent on food during their routine fast to those in need.

It is not only one of the richest ways to connect spiritually in prayerful meditation.

It also can become a spiritual offering.  A gift that blesses ourselves and others simultaneously.
