I basically fast because it brings in a certain amount of discipline in me, teaches me to self-control and cleans up my system.

People in general has many different reasons why they fast. Some people like you fast to practice self-control and detoxify their bodies other people fast because it is a religious practice. There are christians and muslims that practice fasting. I think other religions practice fasting too.
