If you mean physically, well, it makes us hungry :) But spiritually, fasting helps detach onself from the world- in the sense that Catholics are trying to avoid being overly attached to material things and that which might lead us to sin and take us away from Christ. We also believe it improves us because it is something hard to do, and we can offer up our hardships to Christ in reperation for our sins.
