Fasting: willingly abstaining for a period of time
A fast is "a period of such abstention or self-denial". For most fasts, there are no set rules on when to start or how long they should last. Your own instincts are usually your best guide. A fast can be from traditional things like 3 solid meals, from social media like Reddit, Google Plus or Facebook or even quitting smoking for a day. The great comedian, Ed Wynn said, "Without your health, riches, possessions and fame are all mud."
