At this time, Muslims around the world are fasting. They fast as an act of worship, a chance to get closer to God, and a way to become more compassionate to those in need.
Surprisingly, there is evidence that shows fasting is good for our health.

Thanks for this Rachel. I find it very interesting and know several people who swear by intermittent fasting as an effective way to control weight. I get lightheaded if I go too long without eating so I’m a little leery of trying it.

I haven’t eaten breakfast on a regular basis since I was about 14, it just sets me up feeling bloated and uncomfortable all day. The exception being when I was pregnant. I can happily go with a light lunch too but I always make up for it with a decent dinner and pudding.

I rarely fast, only this year and some occasions in the past I fast for Holy week. But at night I usually eat at an earlier time and don’t eat evening snacks. The next meal will be a light breakfast. So that’s about 12 hours of no food…does this count?
