Fasting is a period of not eating. It's practiced in most religions. During the time of fasting there is prayer and thoughtfulness.

Fasting is going without food usually to gain deeper insight into one's relationship with God, to detoxify the body, or to lose weight and reset the body's natural mechanisms. Be careful to drink at least one-half of your bodyweight in ounces of water.
A juice fast is preferable over a water fast; most health care professionals recommend this.

no food or drink is bad for you in excess (More that three meals. ) but it is good if you need spiritual inspiration, when you stomache is empty, you can listen to your spirit better. Gets you closer to God.
