Why Fasting? People turn to fasting or detox diets to help cleanse toxins and impurities from their bodies, while losing weight at the same time. The idea is that the heavily processed diets most people live on these days cause a lot of stress to the body, and that eliminating all or most food for a period of time can help relieve that stress. Fasting is said to bring the practitioner more energy as well as ridding the body of waste, clearing up acne and reducing or eliminating other health problems. Fasting for beginners is a daunting process, because you never know exactly how your body is going to react to the lack of food. Fasting can also be done as a spiritual practice, as in the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which actually involves abstaining from food during daylight hours.
