THIS Will Change the Way You Think About Fasting

Most people today hear “fasting” and think of diet trends or intermittent fasting apps. But fasting is far older than any wellness craze. It is woven into Scripture and the life of the early Church — not as punishment, but as a gift. And modern science is confirming what the Bible has shown all along: fasting heals both body and spirit.

The Science of Fasting

One of the strongest benefits of fasting is improved insulin sensitivity. When you stop eating for set periods, your body takes a break from constantly processing sugars. Studies show that even short fasts can lower blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and give cells time to repair. This lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes and helps your body use energy more efficiently.

Think of it like this: fasting gives your body a Sabbath rest, a pause from constant work. That pause strengthens your system for the long haul.

The Bible’s Wisdom

The Bible has always connected fasting with renewal. In Matthew 6, Jesus says, “When you fast…” — not “if.” Fasting was part of the rhythm of life for God’s people. Moses fasted before receiving the Ten Commandments. The early church fasted as they prayed for wisdom. Fasting clears the heart and humbles the spirit, reminding us that life does not come from bread alone but from every word that comes from God (Matthew 4:4).

A Simple Step for Professionals

You don’t need to start with long fasts. Begin with skipping one meal a week, and use that time for prayer or reading Scripture. Pair the physical with the spiritual. When your stomach reminds you that you are hungry, let it remind you to say, “Lord, you are my true bread.”

Closing Thought

Fasting is not about deprivation. It is about restoration. It gives your body space to heal and your spirit space to listen. As both science and scripture show, fasting is not just good for your health — it’s good for your soul.
