Fasting is the practice of refraining from eating, and sometimes drinking, for a period of time. From a physiological perspective, fasting refers to the metabolic state that occurs after a meal has been fully digested and absorbed—a process that typically begins 3–5 hours after eating—or simply the state of not having eaten overnight before breakfast.
