5 Tips to Breeze Through Lent in Style

When you hear the word Lent, the first thing that you usually think of is sacrifice. During biblical times, those who fasted neglected their appearance to call attention to their good deeds. So Jesus said in Matthew 6:18 that these sacrifices have to be made in secret and not announced to the world—“so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

For example, a person who is 140 pounds should drink seventy ounces of water (2,070 milliliters).
