Fasting in religion - fasting is a practice that is often associated with religious observance, and it involves abstaining from food and/or drink for a period of time. Fasting is a common practice in many religions, including christianity, islam, hinduism, and buddhism, and it is often used as a form of spiritual discipline and a way to demonstrate devotion and commitment to one's faith. Fasting can also provide a range of health benefits, including improved metabolism, reduced inflammation, and improved heart health, but it can also have negative impacts on health, such as malnutrition, dehydration, and decreased energy levels, and it should only be practiced under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
