its showing that we can survive without something while depending on God
the benefits of fasting for Christians are because of how Jesus stayed in the desert for a month
i don't think so
As with all diets, fasting diets have both risks and benefits. There are many religions that fast and they are healthy. Keeping the weight off after fasting is the trick.
As the son of a dietitian, I would say no, there are no benefits of fasting. If you are thinking of fasting for weight loss, then I would say definitely not.
Absolutely no similarity in any way.
No. Lent is the season of fasting in the Christian liturgical calendar. Easter is a season of rejoicing.
by fasting,praying and knowing the will of god through the bible.

All things considered it seems the number one benefit of intermittent fasting is the fact that it causes the body to burn fat instead of sugar. This in turn helps with weight regulation. Some other benefits of intermittent fasting are lower triglycerides, improved brain function, and reduction of inflammation. As with any diet one would be advised to check with a medical professional before starting.
The holy month for Christians is the period of the great lent, 40 days of fasting.
