Health Benefits of Fasting One of the main health benefits of fasting is that it is the ideal way for people to give up bad eating habits and other bad habits such as smoking.

Fasting is known to have specific benefits for certain illnesses including epileptic fits and cancer. You can find much of this information on the internet through simple searches.

Restraining your desires so that they can be fulfilled at the appropriate time is an important metaphor for the whole of the human condition. It reflects the especially human characteristic of being able to plan our future and make those concepts determine our actions instead of our actions being determined by ingrained instincts. It is at the core of our mental faculties that make us humans; flexible and able to achieve the success we have in our control over our environment.

See you tomorrow
