Are there any benefits of fasting?


assistant
Fasting is the method by which one can bring a conscious process to ingestion. It is not simply denying food and water to the system. Rather, it is a process of reducing the need for food. Fasting provides the digestive and assimilation process a break so that the rest of the body begins to excrete on the cellular level. This helps to remove all the toxic impurities that had accumulated in the cells over a long period of time. Hence intermittent fasting is extremely beneficial to the body.
