Baha'i Fast, every year start in the second of March to 20 of March in total of nineteen days, we would not eat and drink, twelve hours everyday. Example, if we start at six o'clock in the morning we have to wait until six o'clock in the evening and then we could eat and drink. Also, start from Sunday to Sunday. And in this twelve hours we pray to Almighty God for the prosperity, health and joy of life of all Baha'is and all the people. It also effect us to improve our life and our character we consider becoming more human minded, generous and kind.

Baha'i Fast start from age of fifteen to seventy years old. After seventy years old they do not need to fast but they could pray all the time to get blessings fro God for the prosperity, health and joy of life. If there is any lack of balance in the person's diet he or she become unwell, therefore, not to continue the fast and very important to receive the doctor's advice if they plan to start again.

Now I am Reading what Abdul-Baha said about the Baha'i Fast:

"This material fast is on outer token of the spiritual fast. It is a symbol of self restraint, the withholding of oneself from all appetites of the self, taking on the characteristics of the spirit, been carried away by the breathing of heaven and catching fire from love of God."

"Fasting is the cause of awakening more. The heart becomes tender and the spirituality of man increases. This is produce by the fact that man's thoughts will confined to the commemoration of God, and through this awakening and stimulation surely ideal advancements follow."
