HEALTH The surprising health benefits of Ramadan

R

amadan starts next but are you worried that fasting during the holy month will have a detrimental impact on your health? Find out why the month long fast can have some surprising health benefits.

Dates boost digestion

Although three dates are eaten at the start of Iftar every day during Ramadan for spiritual reasons, they also come with the added bonus of multiple health benefits. One of the most important aspects of fasting is getting the right amount of energy, and considering an average serving of dates contains 31 grams of carbohydrates, this is one of the perfect foods to give you a boost. Dates are also a great way of getting some much-needed fibre, which will aid and improve digestion throughout Ramadan.

Boost for your brain

No doubt you’ll be aware of the positive effects fasting can have on your mental wellbeing and spiritual focus, but the brain-boosting powers of Ramadan are even more significant than you might think. A study found that the mental focus achieved during Ramadan increases the level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which causes the body to produce more brain cells, thus improving brain function.

Lower cholesterol levels

We all know that weight loss is one of the possible physical outcomes of fasting during Ramadan, but there’s also a whole host of healthy changes going on behind the scenes. People observing Ramadan have been found to enjoy a positive effect on their lipid profile, which means there is a reduction of cholesterol in their blood.

Lasting appetite reduction

One of the main problems with dieting is that any weight lost is often quickly put back on, sometimes even with a little added extra. This isn’t the case with Ramadan. The reduction in food consumed in the month of fasting causes your stomach to gradually shrink, meaning you need to eat less food to feel full.

Free detox, better absorption

Ramadan acts as a fantastic detox for your body. By not eating or drinking throughout the day your body will be offered the rare chance to detoxify your digestive system throughout the month. In addition, by not eating throughout the day during Ramadan your metabolism becomes more efficient, meaning the amount of nutrients you absorb from food improves.
