I usually avoid making a post on April 1, because the readers may misconstrue this as a joke (April Fools joke)

However, I came across a Q and A at the channel of a preacher who was asked about fasting and the Lenten season.

There is a medicinal and health value for fasting. The preacher said he lost weight through fasting.  He was bloated because of the steroid he took for asthma.  He fasted eating only fruit and vegetable juice.

There is health value in fasting. It enables your liver and pancreas to rest, and your body to eliminate toxin.  And helps you lose weight.

Several posts have been made by this blog about fasting.
