Ramadan is your chance to improve your health.. Provided you fast in the right way: Here are the experts’ tips
A healthy Ramadan. This may be everyone's demand without exception. How could it not be, when we wait for this blessed month every year with great impatience, not only for worship, obedience and getting closer to Allah Almighty; but also to benefit from the process of "fasting" to cleanse our bodies of all the sediments and toxins accumulated in it
From a spiritual perspective, fasting can help you find inner peace and spiritual depth, and provides an opportunity to focus on spiritual values. From a health perspective, fasting has health benefits such as developing patience and self-control, increasing compassion, resting the digestive system, controlling weight , and regulating metabolism. However, many people fall into the trap of “overeating” during Ramadan, eating a lot, especially fried, fatty, and sugary foods, as well as processed and manufactured foods, in addition to lack of movement and excessive sleep; which makes them suffer later from negative health repercussions such as weight gain and obesity and the diseases that can result from them such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and others.
So, we conclude from the above that there is a main goal for everyone in Ramadan: to benefit from fasting, without making mistakes that turn it negative instead of positive and healthy. This means following some medical and life advice and guidance, to achieve the equation: a healthy Ramadan provided it is fasted in the right ways. This is what we will learn about in today's article, based on advice provided by Tasneem Obaid, a therapeutic nutritionist from Fakeeh University Hospital in Dubai, to all fasting people.
