What Are The Miracle Benefits of Fasting
10
All major healers throughout history have recommended fasting. Famous fasting advocates include Gandhi, Jesus, Angela Stokes and Cesar Chavez and more. Fasting has been around for centuries and is even mentioned in many famous spiritual texts . . . so there must be something to it. There must be some benefits of fasting. And there definitely is!
Though fasting has been around for so long, it’s surprising how few people know how incredibly magical it is. It has been said—and for good reason—that fasting alone can heal just about any ailment.
If the benefits of fasting can’t cure it, it probably can’t be cured. ~ Anonymous
We spend so much energy thinking about where to get food, what we’re going to eat, planning our meals, preparing food, and then digesting it (which requires the most energy over any other physiological process in the body, next to thinking). So in actuality, one of the benefits of fasting is that it helps us actually preserve a lot of energy and time.
Another of the benefits of fasting is that it gives the digestive system a major chance to rest and because most of the body’s energy goes to breaking down, digesting and assimilating our food, this energy can be used for higher faculties in the body, such as cleansing, rationalizing and getting creative! This is why many people report greater mental clarity and even spiritual gains while fasting.
