During the month of Ramadan, Muslims around the world observe fasting for 30 days. Intermittent fasting is also used by many people for health reasons. Let's take a closer look at the benefits of fasting. Here are some benefits about fasting:
1. It may helps you to control blood sugar level by reducing insulin resistance
According to study published, research conducted on ten persons with type 2 diabetes intermittent fasting can lower blood sugar levels. In other research, intermittent fasting has also been demonstrated to be useful in lowering insulin resistance.
2. Fasting could be used to treat neurological diseases
According to a research, fasting induces an altered metabolic state that optimizes neuron bioenergetics, plasticity, and resilience in a way that may counteract a broad array of neurological disorders. Fasting improves cognition, stalls age-related cognitive decline, usually slows neurodegeneration, reduces brain damage and enhances functional recovery after stroke, and mitigates the pathological and clinical features of epilepsy and multiple sclerosis in animal models. Fasting has the potential to be used to treat neurological diseases in people, but more research is needed to prove it.
3. It may helps you to decrease your weight
As we know, Muslims around the world fast for 30 days during the month of Ramadan, and we all know that fasting can help us lose weight. According to the findings of study, significant decreases in weight, fat mass (as a percentage of weight and as absolute mass), and fat-free mass. The greater the starting BMI, the greater the amount of weight lost.
4. It may helps to prevention from cardiovascular diseases
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. More than four out of five CVD deaths are due to heart attacks and strokes, and one third of these deaths occur prematurely in people under 70 years of age (WHO). According to a study on intermittent fasting, which claims that intermittent fasting can help prevent heart disease and other disease. This is due to fatty acids and ketones become the main energy fuel, because the body undergoes metabolic switching of glucose-ketone (G-to-K). By affecting the biochemical transformations of lipids, it decreases body mass and has a positive influence on lipid profile parameters—it reduces the concentration of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol.

As a Muslim I particularly enjoy Ramadan since it helps draw us closer to Allah and the deen. But of course, what Allah only let’s us do what is beneficial to us. It’s refreshing to see that fasting can help prevent cardiovascular diseases and also help in controlling our blood sugar levels.
