    Good question:

    Fasting gives your body a much needed rest and allows the system to clean itself out.

    Spiritually, fasting means that you impose a form of self-discipline on yourself which gives you a sense of control.

    It also purifies your soul and body by making your sense faculties more accute.

    After a one day fast ( just water), I can see better and clearer, I can taste and smell much better as well.

    You also lose a little weight.
