Usually, after 8 hours of eating food, the effect of fasting starts on our body. After eating our food, it takes 8 hours for the stomach to digest that food. When this food is digested, our body tries to get energy from the glucose stored in the liver and muscles. As a result, fat melts and our weight decreases. This process is called autophagy.

In 2016, Japanese scientist Oshinari Osumi received the Nobel Prize for his amazing information about autophagy.

Fasting lowers cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of diabetes. So there is no doubt that fasting works as a medicine for our body.

But since we abstain from food and drink throughout the day, we need to consume a lot of water and water-based foods at night. Otherwise, the body will become dehydrated.

Fasting is a mercy from Allah for us. So its importance and benefits are immense. Fasting is a religious act of worship so many physical and mental changes occur in us as a result of fasting.
