Dr. Musichova called the advantages of fasting in Ramadan

Preventive medicine doctor, blogger Madina Musichova told Moslente on the benefits of fasting during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which began on March 22.

According to the doctor, such food restrictions are not critical for the body, and also stated that fasting in Ramadan has a beneficial effect on the brain and gastrointestinal tract.

Musichova noted that fasting during the day allows you to unload the gastrointestinal tract: during this time, the intestines can rest and start the process of self-purification. In addition, the metabolism comes in order.

“Therefore, after leaving Uraza, your gastrointestinal tract works like clockwork,” said the blogger doctor.

Fasting has no less positive effect on the work of the brain, where chemical transformations are triggered. This means that specific cells begin to be produced in the brain in response to hunger, which improve nerve conduction.

It is noteworthy that the temporary refusal of food activates the production of substances that prevent the development of such incurable pathologies as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Refraining from food also improves concentration and memory.

In addition, Madina Musichova reported that temporary fasting has a positive effect on the work of the heart by lowering blood pressure, which allows the body to direct energy to burn toxins instead of digesting food. This process improves the quality of the skin and activates the immune system.

However, it is better to refrain from fasting for those people who have health problems, as well as lactating women, pregnant women and the elderly.

Also, do not starve children: a growing body needs food. For those who are forced to take medications, it is better to consult a doctor before starting a fast.
