Fasting has various mental effects, including;
Poor recovery from disordered eating
The goal of an individual seeking recovery from disordered eating is to reconnect with their body through tuning into hunger cues and offering the required food. However, if one chooses fasting, then the body will probably lose trust and distance itself from the intended goal-recovery.
Development of a severe eating disorder
While eating disorders lack a particular cause, dieting and other food rules are risk factors. If you lose weight through intermittent fasting, you are most likely to nurture a serious eating disorder. Therefore, regular religious fasting could possibly cause an eating disorder.
Mood swings
Hungry people are likely to get irritated due to neuropeptide hormone release. Lack of food for a long time also causes reduced blood sugar, resulting in irritability, poor concentration, and anxiety.
