Fasting
By Clint Young The typical reaction when someone reads or hears the words, "fast" or "fasting" is to immediately think of someone in a religious classification that they don't want to be part of. Overall, these words strike a negative chord with most. And most certainly want to avoid what their perception of a fast is or what it might involve. This typical reaction is both unfortunate and quite inaccurate. Actually, each person fasts each day when they sleep. Fasting is when one is not eating. Looking at daily fasting, this period of time can be as short as 3-5 hours for some to as long as 20-22 hours for others.
