2- Stops the absorption of foods that decay in the gut.
3- Empties the digestive tract and facilitates elimination of wastes.
4- Promotes the breakdown and absorption of diseased tissues, deposits and other abnormal growths.
5- Increases the powers of digestion and assimilation (the usage of food)
6- Re-establishes normal body chemistry and secretions.
7- In itself does not remove toxins. This is done by the excretory organs.
8- Rather creates an environment which allows organs to perfect their work.
9- Improves mental powers generally, e.g. the ability to reason is increased and attention and association are quickened when fasting. The Romans believed that a full stomach does not like to think.
10- Tends to increase one's control over all appetites and passions.
11- And is, therefor, ideal for meditation.
These are only a few reasons to fast. But they are very good ones, and I believe that virtually everyone can benefit from fasting. Everyone!!! Our bodies are so corrupted that we cannot function as God meant us to do. Getting back to the basics begins with fasting. Knowledge is power, over our own lives, and we must learn how to live. Fasting gives us knowledge, about ourselves; body, mind and spirit. And it is free!!!
