Fasting between Orthodox spirituality and science

Summary/Abstract: As it is known, fasting is the total or partial abstinence or restraint from food and drink for a limited time for religious-moral purposes. This definition shows that the fast recommended by our Church has a specific character, in the sense that, representing the total or partial abstinence from animal products, dairy products, eggs, animal fats, alcoholic beverages, the fast should also reduce the quantity of products, avoiding the paradoxical possibility of soaking in fasting foods... Therefore, the total or partial abstinence or restraint from food and drink aims at acquiring a modest life. And to achieve this goal, fasting is an exercise in spiritual growth. It must be harmoniously combined with spiritual fasting, meaning that abstinence from food is twinned with abstinence from sin.
