Reason why we need to fast sometimes.

I read about how an unhealthy colon may cause health problems to the body. By right a person should have bowel movement up more than once. Wow. I thought once is good enough. Eventually nope. Should be one elimination per meal a day. Which means if you eat 3 times a day. So should go to the toilet 3 times too. And I thought there was something wrong with one of my housemate while at the Uni. Everytime she ate she had to go. Very healthy colon she had then. LOL

Many religion in the world promotes fasting. Reason is to help the digestive system cleanse itself. But how many times a year, oh say, a month does a person just stop eating for at least a day? For muslims we fast in the month of Ramadhan from daybreak to sunset for 29 to 30 days. But I know many people fast day time and they consume more than they do on an ordinary day when they break their fast. LOL.

Perhaps that is why so many colon cleanse products are out there in the market. I have never tried any though. Have you ever seen the pictures they use to proof how dirty people colons can be? I just don't dare to imagine how my colon looks like from the inside. LOL I'll stick to fasting.
