Hindus observe fasts as a religious vow, the observance and practice which comprise of abstinence from all sensual gratification, is more of an austerity or tapas. The spiritual powers are developed through devotion and tapas.
Fasting helps in improving concentration and contemplation, overcoming the passions, controlling the senses and overhauling our various body systems. Fasting, as a means of spiritual development, purification and self- discipline, has been a time-honoured religious practice since time immemorial. It cleanses the various human organs and rejuvenates the body by eliminating toxins. It provides rest and relaxation to the digestive system and opens new avenues of growth through the realisation of spiritual energy.
Proportionally, the number of women in India is less as compared to that of men, but the life span of women is comparatively longer than that of men. The secret of their longevity is that, they are more religious, devout and resort to fasts frequently.
