For 30 days, Muslims will fast from sunup until sundown, reflect and do charitable work for Ramadan. Participating in Ramadan can also be beneficial for individuals who don’t practice the religion. Here are several reasons to consider fasting during Ramadan. –amir shaw
Weight Loss: For those experiencing weight issues, fasting for 30 days will help to burn calories and facilitate weight loss. It also normalizes your digestive system by lowering blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure.
Detoxification: Fasting allows the toxins to break down and pass out of your body. This is also helpful for clearing your skin and maintaining healthy hair.
Eliminating Habits: Fasting can help with eliminating addictions such as drugs, smoking and drinking alcohol.
Self-Reflection: Fasting causes you to take a break from carnal desires, which allows you to reflect on life and think about those who are less fortunate. Spiritual rejuvenation is also important for your personal life and career.
Giving Back: During Ramadan, Muslims must give Zakat, which is basically charity. They give back to the less fortunate or assist those in need. It discourages greed and selfishness.
