As Ramadan is starting, Muslims throughout the world are getting ready to do their daily fast from sunrise to sunset for a whole month. Fasting in Ramadan brings about many spiritual benefits such as deepening connection with Allah, focus on prayer and recitation of Quran, exercising patience and having empathy with other fellow humans who are suffering from starvation.
Fasting in Ramadan also brings with it many benefits to your physical and mental health. One 2021 study analyzed the effects of fasting on the human gut and found that fasting increased the diversity of helpful bacteria in the gut microbiome, including the Christensenella species, which are related to longevity. Another study of older human and animal research reported that fasting is effective in increasing longevity and delaying disease.

Breaking of Ramadan fast at sunset is a happy occasion. Time to strengthen ties of kinship with family members. On the health side, fasting triggers a cellular process called autophagy. It means “self-eating” in Greek. During autophagy, the body cleans up damaged cells preventing them from piling up and causing harm. This can reduce the chance of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. The elimination of harmful proteins within neurons during autophagy may prevent Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s disease. Your immune system becomes stronger during autophagy, which clears pathogens. It speeds up antibody production, strengthening the body’s defenses against infections and diseases. Fasting also helps to regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, potentially reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. Some studies suggest that fasting helps decrease inflammation in the body. A recent study found that fasting also affects the lipid profile. This results in reduced blood cholesterol, which can keep heart attacks, strokes, and other diseases at bay. Observing Ramadan fasting gives your digestive system a rest and your stomach gradually shrinks in size. Fasting not only uses your fat reserves but also cleanses your body of harmful toxins that might be present in fat deposits. With the digestive system on a month-long overhaul, your body naturally detoxifies, giving you the opportunity to continue a healthier lifestyle beyond Ramadan. Fasting can be helpful in boosting mood and mental clarity. It is known to increasing the growth and development of new brain cells, in turn, sharpening responses to information in the world around us. It makes the brain more resilient to stress, more adaptable to change, and can improve mood, memory, and even learning capacity. So, take advantage of fasting this Ramdan to not only strengthen your spirituality, but also to enjoy the numerous health benefits it brings along. Any questions on your pain or health issues?
