ramadan

For people who are not diabetic but at risk of becoming so, Ramadan fasting may lead to better health outcomes.

An important difference for Ramadan is that it does not allow the consumption of water.

I have Muslim friends who shift their hours around during Ramadan to sleep during more of the day.

I say that crack about ramadan with all the affection in the world, I really do.

Putting on more unhealthy weight during and after ramadan is not rare.

Also, I have fasted for the entire duration of the Muslim month of Ramadan twice now.

I wonder if there's any observational studies on the effect of Ramadan fasting on health.

I have never met a Muslim that didn't put on 5 kilos during ramadan from ridiculous iftars and judicious day light napping.

For people of poor health with a diet of meager nutrition, or for diabetics with irregular blood sugar levels, Ramadan fasting may lead to worse health outcomes.

But he used to run ads during Ramadan on Egyptian television the last few years underlining education is THE priority to make Egypt return even to a fraction of its true greatness.

- fasting on Ramadan was probably created by a religious leader who felt better after doing it himself and though it to be a good idea for everybody else to do it.

It seems less of an issue for "converts" of different origins = more of a cultural thing, as Muhammad -saws- encouraged people to eat and drink moderately, and certainly not over-indulge in a month like Ramadan.

Am not a Muslim, but this month of Ramzan (or Ramadan) does inspire me to try some light fasting.

While participating in Ramadan, food and drink is abstained from dawn to sunset for each day during the month.

During the month of Ramadan, no one seems to lose any weight, mainly because everyone seems to overcompensate during iftaar.
