                                Originating in ancient Eastern Christian traditions, the Xerophagy diet, or 'dry eating,' is a strict form of fasting, often observed during periods like Great Lent. This spiritual discipline focuses on abstaining from certain food types to practice self-control and concentrate on prayer rather than culinary pleasure.
