It didn't feel I had 13 days of fasting,
hunger and thirst, reduce emotional and behavioral control.
Cause of the fast I can save more, so I can share my joy with the poor.
Fasting has become way of life for those certain people. And have proven positive impact on control of environmental harmony and reduce social inequality

Fasting is a way to bring us closer to god. But if you have low blood sugar or physical issues it's not a good thing to fast.
But techncially when you are fasting you are praying and god helps you overcome the feelings of hungry. It's a way to bring yourself closer to God. TO help solve the issues in your life.
Now I've done some fasting but I never let myself go without Water. No food no soda no anything else. Just Water. ANd lots of praying. And within that time of fasting usually God sends me the answers that I need. Fasting helps you get your thoughts togetheir and is a way to just center yourself.
Fasting can be positive only if done right.

hi,friend,your views on fasting is true.But fasting helps those who took heavy food regularly.But the people who doesn't have food regularly or not sufficient food regularly fasting is a nightmare.Isn't it.Because they always expects good food everyday.

Hi Kholid
I personally can't ,don't and won't fast for 13 days thats just not good for me. My blood sugar would get extremely low and I know I would most likely pass out, To me that type of fasting is starvation and starving the body to my knowledge has no health benifits. In fact it can do the body great harm especially if one is a diabetic or has other health problems. I do want to say to you that I am in no way meaning for this response to sound like I am critical of your beliefs or culture I'm just saying that if people are going to do that they should be careful,also I'm not sure how anyone could do that if they have a job outside the home or children I would imagine that would be a type of fast that one would go on some type of retreat and particiapte in. Anyone who plans on doing a fast for a certain period of time should consult their doctor before doing it.
Happy MYLOTTING
