Regular Fasting Protects Heart, Extends Man’s Age: Study

Scientists at the US  Heart Society conducted an overwhelming study on thousands of persons.

They discovered that regular fasting  protects heart, reduces percentage of heart failure and extends age of the man.

The researchers conducted an experiment on two thousands volunteers who underwent a compulsory catheter.

Three hundred eighty-nine persons fast regularly for four years and a half.

During that period those people were under strict medical surveillance.

Possibilities of death among that category slide by 45%.

On the other hand, statistics proved that those who fast systematically enjoy lesser rate of heart attack by 71%.

Scientists said results of that study surprised them.

It is worth mentioning that fasting for a day every month makes the human body encourages some mechanisms which stay idle in the normal circumstances.

Ramadan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar for Muslims across the globe as they abstain from eating or drinking between dawn and sundown.

Those observing the fast use the time for reflection, increased self-control and a devotion to prayer. Here are the rules of fasting you need to know about.

You are not allowed to drink water during daylight hours.

However, the NHS recommends adults break their fast if they become very dehydrated.

On their website they warn: "Poor hydration can be made worse by weather conditions and even everyday activities like walking to work or housework.

"If you produce very little or no urine, feel disoriented and confused or faint as a result of dehydration, you must stop fasting and have a drink of water or other fluid."

If a fast is broken, it will need to be compensated for by fasting at a later date. Or they can pay "fidyah", a religious term for donation of food or money.

Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam, so all adult Muslims are expected to fast, read and reflect on the entire Koran, the holy book, while abstaining from smoking and sex during the day.

It is thought abstaining from these activities will lead to greater "taqwa", or consciousness of God.
