| <li style="font-weight:bold">Fasting and self-control:<br/><span style="font-weight:normal">The findings of a famous psychology experiment termed the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_marshmallow_experiment Stanford marshmallow experiment], are closely related to the traditional reason behind fasting. In the experiment, children were left in a room alone for 15 minutes and given a candy. They were given a promise that if the child did not eat the candy at the end of the 15 minutes, he/she would get two candies. Children who could control the temptation for 15 minutes to get the reward were later tracked in life. After 2 decades, they became way more successful than the kids who got tempted to eat the candy as soon as they were given it. Fifty years post the experiment, the researcher talks about self-controlas a muscle that must be exercised and built.</span></li> | | <li style="font-weight:bold">Fasting and self-control:<br/><span style="font-weight:normal">The findings of a famous psychology experiment termed the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_marshmallow_experiment Stanford marshmallow experiment], are closely related to the traditional reason behind fasting.
