So I'm starting to fast today and I'm wondering if anyone else is currently fasting or wants to fast tgt. I'm thinking of just taking chia seeds with water so that I can feel full and not have the desire to eat. I'm going to be trying this out for at least 5 days so I'll definitely update you all on how it goes!!
I also wanted to provide some info on fasting and what it can do for you so I decided to make this post a educational post.


Many people say that fasting originated from ancient times where fasting was supposed to help with healing. Other people also say that fasting came from certain cultures that practiced fasting for spiritual/religious reasons.
What does fasting do to your body?
For those who don't really understand what fasting does, it basically can help with high cholesterol, lower your blood pressure, and help with weight loss.
Fasting also improves brain health and helps to delay aging. People mainly do fasting for weight loss or for religious purposes.

Fasting can also be done for religious purposes
(which I have done as well).
In the bible Esther and the jews had to fast for 3 days because their lives where about to be in danger (Esther 4:16) . David fasted all day to seek God (2 Samuel 12:16-20) and Jesus Himself has fasted for 40 days (Matthew 4:1-11).
Fasting generally entails abstaining from food, drink, and sexual relations from before the first light of dawn until the setting of the sun. Muslims are required to fast on each of the 29 to 30 days of Ramadan.
