What Are The Health Benefits Of Fasting In Ramadan?

— Islam Channel | Ramadan | Friday March 22, 2024

We know Ramadan has its spiritual blessing but what about the barakah and health benefits the body gets from fasting in the blessed month?

Fasting during the month of Ramadan helps with general wellbeing. It gives your body a break from the usual intake of food or water — allowing your system to reset itself.

Intermittent fasting has gained in popularity in recent years as it helps lose weight — the 5:2 diet is similar to the Prophetic traditions of fasting twice a week.

Even amongst athletes, it's believed to promote fat loss and muscle gain. And fasting in Ramadan produces similar health benefits.

Some of The Health Benefits It Is Said To Be Linked with Includes:

Weight Loss

Lowering the Risk of Diabetes

Reducing the Risk of Heart Disease

Improving Insulin Levels

Boosting Brain Function

Helping the Immune System

Promoting Blood Sugar Control

Improving Blood Pressure

The Practice of Fasting

Some studies suggest that fasting may protect against and improve Parkinson's and Alzheimer's patients' outcomes and improve brain function by supporting memory and brain processing.

And this isn't just limited to humans. Similarly, animal studies suggest fasting may protect brain health and increase the generation of nerve cells.

The practice of fasting dates back centuries and is seen as one of the oldest therapies in medicine. In the 5th century BC, Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, recommended abstaining from food to aid the healing process.

Of course, some people can be exempt from fasting — especially if is detrimental to their health.

Those who are ill can be excused from the duty, as are people who are travelling and women who are pregnant, menstruating or breastfeeding.

Those who have a pre-existing medical condition or are on medication should speak to their GP or healthcare professional before they attempt to fast.

I got a Celsius today because someone said they're better than redbull. In the interest of a fair comparison, I got the watermelon flavor and will keep everyone posted on how it is

OMG, this is a Must Watch!

The good industry is dirty- Kiana is talking about it and bringing forth amazing points!

Let's talk about it!!

Fast food is $$$$.

She points out that fast food prices, often blamed on inflation have risen higher and faster than inflation actually has. AND most chains have discontinued healthier options, like chicken breast and/or a simple salad.

The Pivot to target Ozempic Users

That's right! A food company giant is pivoting to target Ozempic and Wegovy users with ultra processed foods like pizza and pasta... with "higher" protein.

The truth bombs Continue....

One author is found to be PAID by huge companies... to blast back against the ANTI UPF book published last year....

If you need a reason to stop eating crap- this is it. These companies KNOW they are unhealthy. They know. And will continue as long as their profit margin remains.

Time to drive them bankrupt.

BANKRUPT

Like Dodgeball says "You gotta get angry! You gotta get mean!"

i'm glad i decided to try out a ketosis diet again (aka changing my metabolism to basically only use ketone bodies made from fatty acids for energy by reducing carb intake to max 20g/day) for a few weeks because it was a neat experiment but i'm also glad I decided to stop because now i get to enjoy life's greatest fucking simplest yet finest delicacy: mashed potatoes/sweet potatoes with melted butter and salt. i cannot understand how i could live without that. just. vegetables. keto has opened my eyes to new ways to cook foods and experiment with ingredients but i don't think i can live without carbs. i doubt that the majority of people could. also have you any idea how much good simple near-zero effort food there is out there like holy gosh darn in heaven. i don't have to spend hours cooking something to have a nice meal

USA please listen to me: the price of “teaching them a lesson” is too high. take it from New Zealand, who voted our Labour government out in the last election because they weren’t doing exactly what we wanted and got facism instead.

Trans rights are being attacked, public transport has been defunded, tax cuts issued for the wealthy, they've mass-defunded public services, cut and attacked the disability funding model, cut benefits, diverted transport funding to roads, cut all recent public transport subsidies, cancelled massive important infrastructure projects like damns and ferries (we are three ISLANDS), fast tracked mining, oil, and other massive environmentally detrimental projects and gave the power the to approve these projects singularly to three ministers who have been wined and dined by lobbyists of the companies that have put the bids in to approve them while one of the main minister infers he will not prioritise the protection of endangered species like the archeys frog over mining projects that do massive environmental harm. They have attacked indigenous rights in an attempt to negate the Treaty of Waitangi by “redefining it”; as a backup, they are also trying to remove all mentions of the treaty from legislation starting with our Child Protection laws no longer requiring social workers to consider the importance of Maori children’s culture when placing those children; when the Waitangi Tribunal who oversees indigenous matters sought to enquire about this, the Minister for Children blocked their enquiry in a breach of comity that was condemned in a ruling — too late to do anything — by our Supreme Court. They have repealed labour protections around pay and 90 day trials, reversed our smoking ban, cancelled our EV subsidy, cancelled our water infrastructure scheme that would have given Maori iwi a say in water asset management, cancelled our biggest city’s fuel tax, made our treasury and inland revenue departments less accountable, dispensed of our Productivity Commission, begun work on charter schools and military boot camps in an obvious push towards privatisation, cancelled grants for first home buyers, reduced access to emergency housing, allowed no cause evictions, cancelled our Maori health system that would have given Maori control over their own public medical care and funding, cut funding of services like budgeting advice and food banks, cancelled the consumer advocacy council, cancelled our medicine regulations, repealed free prescriptions, deferred multiple hospital builds, failed to deliver on pre-election medical promises, reversed a gun ban created in response to the mosque shootings, brought back three strikes = life sentence policy, increased minimum wage by half the recommended amount, cancelled fair pay for disabled workers, reduced wheelchair services, reversed our oil and gas exploration ban, cancelled our climate emergency fund, cut science research funding including climate research, removed limits on killing sea lions, cut funding for the climate change commission, weakened our methane targets, cancelled Significant National Areas protections, have begun reversing our ban on live exports. Much of this was passed under urgency.

It’s been six months.
