You will realize the positive effects of fasting can have mental wellbeing and spiritual focus, brain power increases with Ramadan fasting, even more significant than you think.

Fasting Ramadan helps you eliminate bad habits, so important that the National Health Service in the UK recommends as an ideal time for a smoking trench.


3. Fasting Lower cholesterol

Low cholesterol improves heart health, greatly reduces the risk of suffering from heart disease, heart attacks, or stroke. What's more, if you follow a healthy diet after Ramadan, this newly lowered cholesterol level is easy to maintain.

This exercise helps to keep the fluid balance in the body. The breakdown of food takes place at a stable level. The release of energy also follows a gradual pattern. However, fasting does not stop the acid production in the stomach. This is the reason patients with peptic ulcer are advised to approach fasting carefully.
