15 Recommendations for Fasting Products

Fasting is a means of purifying the soul and body. It implies total or partial abstinence from certain foodstuff and it represents also the time to purify your mind from thoughts, cravings or bad deeds. If you have a negative attitude towards everything that surrounds you, than you fast in vain. It is well said that doubtful persons have something against all solutions to their problems. You need to find your own internal balance so you can overcome this period of restrictions.

Lebanese cuisine is generous in this regard because you can eat a variety of foods full of vitamins from where you can get your daily energy.
