Fasting for Health and Happiness

[finorg]

Today marks the second day of a 21 Day fast called by Awakening America Alliance. Not only does fasting helps in your relationship with the Lord, there are wonderful health benefits.

One big benefit to fasting is the lowering of blood pressure. What health benefits have you seen from fasting?

One of the benefits is the body shedding toxins. The first few days of a fast can be torture if you haven't been cautious in what you are eating i.e. junk food, etc. The toxins leaving the body can be quite the experience - it seems to be a cleansing for the spirit as well as the body. "Fasting" from the world while fasting your body is an exhilarating experience. Glad to see this topic up.
