If your blood and energy are not occupied digesting food, they might be used for higher-level functions. Giving the body a chance to clean the blood, to evacuate wastes, and make repairs, could be beneficial. Some fast as a way to separate the spirit from the body, the energy self from the physical self.
I suspect the origins were in periods where people had no choice. They were starving. But, surviving, found there were spiritual results, and health benefits. Most fasts are not absolute. They refrain from solid foods in favor of juices. Water is always necessary. And they do not go on for long. If you consume the volatile substances in modern industrialized nations' diets, white fiberless sugar, white fiberless flour, fiberless high-fructose corn syrup, corn starch, and the many other names for corn that are in nearly every processed product, your body may be suffering damages like diabetes, cholesterol over-production, etc., and reaction to a fast may be more violent than is healthy. Be careful. You should be able to find guidance in books at your library, or by googling it.
Psychic Edgar Cayce, in Gina Cerminara's 1950 book, Many Mansions, recommends a 3-day apple fast to eliminate triglycerides from the blood stream. www.garyeandrews.com
you feel good, and you get thin...
All I know is it brings you and God closer together! You guys are pals!
fasting is abstaining from food and while abstaining you will be praying. il gladly answer any question you may have as this is my field. people fast inorder to make their prayers stronger and make their prayers effective. prayers are stronger when you fast and it originated from the bible in the golden days in the bible. it really works believe it or not. you have to be strong though. it benefits your mind in the sense that you pour your heart before God and makes your crys or questions or whatever you have to say to God more effective. God hears your prayer more so to speak if you are ofcourse saved. im not preaching here.lol. physically in the sense that you realise the difference between spiritual matters and worldly matters. hope ive helped and most of all, i hope it makes sense.lol :)
