For many people Lent is a time to take a step back, evaluate what is important and think about sacrifice. People of the Catholic faith refrain from eating meat on Fridays. In addition, Catholics and people of other Christian faiths also give up something such as eating high-calorie desserts or kicking a bad habit, such as smoking. According to Michael Koller, MD, an internal medicine physician at Loyola University Health System, Lent can play an important role in creating a healthy lifestyle.
