Benefits of fasting for health
The month of Ramadan is one of the right moments for Muslims competing in getting reward. Apart from carrying out religious obligations and getting merit, fasting in the month of Ramadan has many health benefits for the body, including:
1. Help you lose weight
Fasting is a safe way to lose weight. Many studies show that controlled fasting allows the body to burn fat cells more effectively than just a normal diet. The impact of controlled fasting allows the body to use fat as an energy source rather than sugar.
2. Improve insulin sensitivity
Fasting is proven to have a positive effect on insulin sensitivity, it allows the body to tolerate carbohydrates better than if it does not fast. A study revealed that after fasting, insulin becomes more effective in telling cells to process glucose in the blood.
3. Increasing the Immune System
Fasting can improve the immune system because it can reduce free radicals, regulate inflammatory conditions in the body and prevent the formation of cancer cells. If you pay attention to an animal that is experiencing pain, it will stop eating and instead focus on resting.
This is because of the primitive instinct to reduce stress on their internal systems so that their bodies can fight infection with disease. Strangely, humans are the only species that actually looks for food when sick, even when they don't need it.
4. Improve diet
Fasting is a training tool for those who suffer from overeating disorders. Fasting also gives you the opportunity to establish the right diet because of work and other priorities.
5. Helps cleanse the skin and prevent acne
Fasting can help cleanse the skin because the body is free from the task of processing food in digestion. In addition, the body can also more quickly focus energy to carry out regenerative processes in other systems.
Fasting from dawn to dusk has been proven to help the body cleanse toxins and regulate the function of other organs such as the liver, kidneys and other parts.
