Whether for medical, cultural or personal reasons, some people believe fasting — temporarily abstaining from food — can cleanse the body and mind, if done safely. As Muslims throughout the world celebrate Ramadan, a holy month of fasting, introspection and prayer, we asked Holly Moyer, registered dietitian with Sharp Rees-Stealy, to answer five common questions about fasting.
“Before deciding to pursue a temporary fast, talk with your dietitian or doctor about ways to ensure you stay hydrated and give your body what it needs,” Moyer says.
