And fasting too much makes you see things that aren't there!

Many Benefits of Fasting

Since the month of Ramadan is around the corner – I thought it would be
appropriate for the non-Muslims to know how could they benefit from Islamic
fasting too.

In the West diet-books fly off store-shelves in record numbers, as diet
gurus offer their latest fads for losing weight to a population that is
grossly overweight because of over-indulgence. Many of those who have gone
on such diets appear on radio and TV-talk shows to narrate their personal
experiences. The overwhelming opinion seems to be that any diet works for a
short time, but as soon as the dieter gives it up the lost weight reappears;
some dieters even exceed their previous weight. In all the shared
experiences about such diets, one centuries-old formula is seldom or never
mentioned: the simple fast that the prophets of all the major faiths engaged
in regularly and enjoined on their followers. Fasting is not new, yet it
seems that, as a possible diet option, it is one of the best-kept secrets:
no one seems to have explored its potential.
