medical benefits of fasting
Allah will say: O people who believe, a must for you to fast as well have been obligated to the people before you, that ye may fear Allah (Surah Al-Baqarah: 183). Allah says: And if you select the sooner the better for you if you know (Surah Al-Baqarah: 184). Does contemporary science can reveal the secret of the Word of God "And if you fast is better for you"?
Indeed contemporary medical science has not revealed the nature mempu fasting, but only stated that fasting is not desire for man to do it or not. That's it.
Indeed fasting, after various scientific research and detail of human body organs and physiological activity found that fasting is clearly something that should be done by the human body so that he could continue to perform their activities properly. And fasting is really very important and necessary for human health as humans need to eat, breathe, move, and sleep. So people who really need these things. If people can not sleep, eat during the long span of time it would hurt. Thus, the human body will experience a bad thing if he was not fasting.
In a hadith narrated by Imam Abu Umamah Nasaa'i from friends: "O Prophet, enjoin me a practice that God will give him the benefit for me to practice it". So he said, "Hurry up, because no one was equal to fasting practices".
And because of the importance of fasting for the body is that fasting helps rid the body where cells are damaged, and the cells or hormones or any substance that exceeds the amount the body needs. And fasting, as guided by Islam is an average of 14 hours, then just eat for the duration of time several hours.
This is a good method for disposal systems or damaged cells and rebuild hotmon body with new cells. And this is very different from what is understood by most people that fasting causes people to become weak and lethargic. Fasting is good for the body on condition that it was done for a month in a row in one year, and can be added 3 days every month. this right in accordance with the recommendations from Prophet in his hadith: Who fasted three days each month, then it is equal to fasting Dahr (fasting throughout the year).
And God confirmed this by saying the Prophet said: Those who work with a good deed, and God gave him the exercise 10 times. One day 10-day valued by God, then the 3-day 30-day appreciated, and if the 3rd day of each month will be 36 days. And it was worth the 360 days or one year in appreciation of God.
Tom Branch of columbia press says :
I think fasting is a spiritual experience that is extraordinary, larger than a biological experience / body alone. So because of that desire, I began to fast to cleanse themselves of excess weight. However, it turns out I found that fasting is very beneficial for mental clarity. Fasting is very helpful so that it becomes clear eyes. Also very helpful in analyzing ideas or new perceptions. However myfasting activity for several days, but I found a great psychological effect like that.
I have fasted several times until now. And I usually choose the time between 1 to 6 days. And in the beginning my goal was to eliminate the negative effects of the foods I eat, also to clean up my soul from the things that I experienced throughout my life, especially after watching the world in recent months, and I saw many tyrannical and brutality that humans live in it . Really, I feel responsible for their situation, so I'm fasting to eliminate those thoughts. "
"I feel fast every time interest in food really missing, and I feel my body is very relaxed and comfortable. And I feel myself turning away from fantasy, negative emotions like envy, jealousy, love girl talk, also lost feeling of fear, unpleasant feelings , and boredom. All of these feelings disappear by itself when I was fasting. And indeed, I felt the experience was so impressed with a lot of people when fasting. And may I say all this because what makes Muslims-as I see them in Turkey, Syria, and the Quds-1 with fasting during the full moon make their lives so impressive that I could not find anywhere in the world ".
Prevent tumor
Fasting also serves as a "surgeon" to remove damaged cells and weak in the body. So, the hunger that people who fasted will be able to move the internal organs in the body to destroy or take the cells rusah or weak to cover their hunger. So it is a good time for the body to replace cells with new cells that can return to work and play. With it also can eliminate or eat the organs of sick and renew. And fasting also serve to keep the body from the addition of harmful substances, such as excess calcium, excess meat and fat. Can also prevent the initial formation of tumors.
Keep blood sugar levels
Fasting is very good for lowering blood sugar levels to achieve balance. Based on this, really gave quick pancreas glands good opportunity to rest. Thus, insulin is released pancreas to neutralize starch sugar and fat collected in the pancreas. If the food contains excess insulin, the pancreas will experience pressure and weakened. It is up to the end of the pancreas can not function. Similarly, blood levels will rise and continue to increase until finally emerged with diabetes. And has done a lot of effort this diabetes treatment around the world by following the "fast system" for more than 10 hours and less than 20 hours. Each group gained influence, according to the situation. Then, the patient to consume snacks during a sequence of less than 3 weeks. And this method has achieved remarkable results in the treatment without the use diabetes and chemical drugs as well.
Fasting is the most expensive doctor
Indeed fasting, without exaggeration, is the "doctor" is really the most expensive. Because fasting can lose weight significantly, when the record breaking fast by eating a balanced diet and do not consume foods and beverages immediately when broken. Apostle when starting ifthar of fasting is to eat a few seeds of dates and not others, or a sip of water and prayer. This is a clue.
And this is the best guide for people who fasted from food and drink for a long time. Thus, there is sugar in the dates and people will feel full when eating dates, because he is very easily digested and sent to the blood, and at the same time he gives the energy or strength to the body.
As if we live to eat meat after a hunger for fast, vegetables, and bread, the body takes a long time to digest and absorb the essence of food and then we feel full. And at a time like this, then people will break when the initial still hungry. And finally, those who fasted were less able to benefit directly from the fasting, the health gain, be fitter, and vitality, even he will remain mostly fat and obesity. And this is certainly not valid for the purpose of God from the servants of His to fast.
God said: The month of Ramadan that the Qur'an descended as a guide for mankind, an explanation for the guidance and differentiation. So who will fill this Ramadan fast. And who is sick or in the street so fast that he was replacing another month. God wants to comfort you and do not want to trouble you "(Al-Baqarah: 175).
Diseases of skin disease
It's fast useful for treating various skin diseases. This is because the water content rapidly decreased in the blood, it also reduces the water content in the skin. This in turn will impact upon:
1. Adding the power of the skin against microbes and microbial diseases of the stomach.
2. Minimize the possibility of skin disease that spread throughout her body like a sick psoriasis (chronic skin disease).
3. Minimizing skin allergies and skin problems limit the fat.
Mrs.Ilham Hussein, an Egyptian princess, tell :
When I was 10 years old, I suffered from chronic skin diseases. This disease appears in red, and I do not see a single drug. And after the famous skin specialist in Egypt said to my father, "You better get used to it and you live with this disease. This is disease to other guests take a long time".
And when I reached the end of 20 years, and close to the time my wedding, I was more sad and isolate themselves from society, I really narrow (small chest). And finally, one friend of my father who always used to make quick to give advice to me, "Try, O daughter, you fast a day later you break (eat) a day, because that is what is the reason for my husband's recovery from a disease that until now unknown medicine by a doctor. However, if the drug is God and we are the real cause of all the drugs in his hand. So, ask him to heal before you suffer from the disease, and quickly ".
So, I fasted, and I began to research the things that get me out of the surrounding jahim. And I used when breaking the fast consumption of vegetables and fruits, and then after 3 hours I'd just eaten a heavy meal. And I eat (not fast) on the second day, and the third day of fasting, and so on. And things began to happen to everyone's surprise, the pain that I had started to recover after 2 months of time passed since I was fasting. I do not believe in myself, and I started as usual, and I saw the pain slowly began to disappear, and until completely recovered. Finally, I would never be affected by skin disease until the end of my days. "
Fasting prevent diseases of the rich
The disease is often referred to as "nacreous disease" caused by excess food and often eat meat. And finally the body can not break down proteins contained in meat. Where it will lead to piles of excess urine in the joints, especially in the joints of the toes. And when the nacreous joint pain, it will be red and swollen and painful that is. And sometimes in the urine levels of excess salt in the blood, then he settles in the kidneys and finally crystallized in the kidneys. And reduce the amount of food is the main cause for the cure of this disease is very dangerous.
Freezing the heart and brain
The professors who conduct scientific medical research - the majority are non-Muslims - will confirm the truth of fasting, because fasting can be reduced because the oil in the body and in turn will lead to reduced cholesterol. Do you know what "mal-cholesterol" that? Mal-Cholesterol is a substance that accumulates on therefore it is no exaggeration if we want to hear the word of Allah Ta `ala, which reads:
"And if you want the course faster is better for you if ye but knew." So how many thousands of people who overcome the habit of eating and drinking constantly, without the knowledge or not because of desire. And if they follow the method of God and the Sunnah of the Prophet of God Blessing will wasallam not excessive in terms of food and drink, fasting three times a month, they would know that many diseases that they have experienced will end and will reduce their weight several hundred pounds.
Joint pain
Joint pain is a disease caused by a long passage of time. With the body's organs began to hurt and pain will be with, and both hands and feet will experience a lot of pain. The disease is sometimes upon men in the final phases of his age, but more specifically at the age between 30 to 50 years. And the real problem is the modern medicine have not been able to find a cure for this disease until now.
However, scientific experiments conducted in Russia confirmed that fasting can be a cure for this disease. And fasting can restore or clean the body from things that harm. Fasting is done for three consecutive weeks. in these conditions the microbes or bacteria that cause this disease into a substance that cleanses the body during fasting. This experiment is performed on the number of people with the disease and get great results.
Rogerz Sulaiman of New York said, "I have a disease of chronic joint dysfunction for three years ago, when the disease is not too heavy at that time unless I can not walk far, and was unable to sit for more than half an hour. I've found a cure of various kinds but they all failed qodarullah then I met a friend named Zanji Irfani on a road to the mosque and he invited me to Islam, and we were then in the month of Ramadan, and I was surprised with the fast method itself, but I continue to follow Islamic rules this because I felt it was more relaxing rules, where rules can prevent the emergence of dangerous substances and to balance the things that are not stable in the body.
Two things are the most difficult problems that I experienced in New York. And so I try to fast a day before the conversion to Islam, I only eat vegetables, fruits and dates only when fasting. And I do not eat anything after that except when the dawn, and now I can walk long and Alhamdulillah I could walk faster. And finally even lost all the pain that I've experienced. Fasting is the only way that I met who could cure this disease. So I give thanks to God for His blessings overflow to convert me when I really steady with him.
Finally, Sulaiman says actually has the virtue of fasting for me, if you see how I greet the month of Ramadan every year, surely you would say, "Ah, like a child just does not like people age 40 or 50 years".
