THE BENEFITS OF FASTING
It gives one a taste for renunciation, and thus helps one to give up sense gratification. Fasting gives the system a rest: The physiological system may become overworked due to a little overeating or indiscrimination in diet. Fasting gives the system a chance to catch up. Fasting helps us practice self-discipline in eating and concentrate more on pleasing God. Fasting helps keep the body light and the stomach free so that one can meditate better. The digestive system draws the blood circulation towards the digestive organs. Therefore blood circulation to the head is decreased once food is taken: so we feel sleepy.
