When cholesterol has accumulated in the body, it triggers prolonged head aches. It causes fatigue making the affected person to easily get tired after little work or exercise. The Cholesterol (Waxy Fat) is not necessarily a liability but an asset as it allows growth of Healthy Cells in the Body. It becomes a problem when the Cholesterol level rises. Consumption of too much fatty foods cause cholesterol accumulation. Fasting systematically gets rid of the waxy fat when it is done for a prolonged period. This then balances the cholesterol level of the body. The body makes use of hidden and stored calories when there is shortage of food. It uses the fats and calories in the body which in turn keeps the cholesterol level balanced with sound health.

Taking fruits and plenty water to break a long fast helps to work as anti-oxidants which balances PH levels in the Body.

*Reduce Sugar Concentration: When the body accumulates unused calories in the body, they turn to sugar which hides in the body. Excess sugar in the body can lead to diabetes and also tiredness. During long fasting periods, the body depends on the sugar that has been stored in the body over time. It is used up and converted to energy to sustain the body. During this period, the body gets rid of the excess sugar allowing it to retain quantity needed only.

*Kills Stomach Worms: Some troublesome worms feed on food people eat. When they are in a persons body, the person gets hungry easily. This is because the worms are eating and using up calories meant for the body. After they feed on it, waste is what is left. These worms find it difficult to survive without food. This means during long fasting they eventually die of hunger as no food is coming in.

*Relaxes Digestive Organs: Digestive organs are always working when we are eating. Their work load increases when we consume a lot of food. Overworking them is not good and can cause purging sometimes or other stomach issues. These organs relax during fasting, helping them to be refreshed and recover normally.
