<div>Fasting used to be a normal part of the Christian community, but it&rsquo;s fallen out of fashion in modern times. Dr. Jay Richards, executive editor of The Stream, talks about fasting during Holy Week and as a regular part of living out your faith as a Catholic. He explains why Christians fast as well as how it benefits your body from a physical and medical standpoint, giving you more energy and better health. Fasting in the Catholic faith usually means going without meat and eating&nbsp;less; Richards also shares his experience with &ldquo;intermittent fasting,&rdquo; which is when you limit eating to certain hours of the day.</div>
