Benefits of Fasting
Detoxification
This the main purpose of fasting “Detoxifying”. Our energy gets utilized in extracting elements causing ailments in the body, relieved from the task of digestion. We know the process of digestion is continuously going on in our body.
The nourishing is continuously going in our body. The nourishing elements of food get assimilated in the form of flesh, marrow, blood, etc. and remaining stuff is excreted out in the form of stool, urine, and cough. Even then some of the contaminated waste remains in the body and gradually accumulates to create toxins and cause diseases. To take out these toxins from the body we resort to fasting. When we eat food the work of excreting is neglected.

Strengthen the organs
Fasting provides strength to organs. Churning takes separate place in the body. Nourishing products get separated and reach strong tissues of the body. Waste product and accumulated toxins flow into the excretory organs, to take them out of the body get fulfilled.
Provide Rest to Body
While you fast, you give rest to the digestive organs including the stomach, small intestines, large intestines, etc, Your body will do other works done like healing the defected organs and remove all the impurities from the body.
Clean the System
While fasting cleaning of the body takes place all by itself. Germs breeding in toxins within our body causing disease take their nourishment from the food we consume. Most of these germs, fungi, and bacteria cannot survive without food for a long time. Fasting gets these germs to starve and start perishing. This way diseases of abdomen get cured easily.
{ A person takes a fully balanced and uncooked diet need not fast as much as the one who eats heavily. For a person consuming a diet full of fats and proteins, fasting is a must.}
