Fasting for mental and physical detoxification


We are well into the Orthodox Easter Lent period which started on Clean Monday 15 March and ends on Holy Saturday.
But what does the Easter fast mean for our Church? How many of us follow it and how? Are there “good” and “bad” foods? Can fasting be an opportunity to detoxify our body?
There are no “good” and “bad” foods, clarifies Father George Athanasiadis, priest of St Spyridon Clayton, who explains the true meaning of fasting.
“Easter fasting and fasting in the Orthodox Church in general is a spiritual education, where one sacrifices the delicious and nutritional pleasures which one replenishes with prayer, charity, church attendance and culminates in participation in Holy Communion.
