Assalam alaykoum wa rahmatoullahi wa barakatouh,
 
The Prophet (pbuh) said fast and you become healthy. It gives the body a break and enables it to fight infection and helps the body to purge toxins that have been stored up in the cells over time. Build up of the chemicals in the body out of eating and drinking is responsible for many kinds of health problems. Reviving the cells, improving circulation and strength, cleaning the stomach, clearing the skin and giving the body the power of self-healing.

Remember that the Quran prescribes piety as the purpose of fasting. It helps to protect the soul from evil, establish spiritual discipline, become humble in relationship with God and His people, increase in patience and perseverance, and to develop a sense of sympathy and support for the hungry.

The real philosophy of fasting is to change the heart. Remember we don’t fast merely because of its benefits but out of obedience to Allah’s command.
