Ahlan wa sahlan ya Ramadhan!!

Hiyaa readers.. Its been a while since I last post something here.. I've been pretty busy and in addition to that I can't really find any good place to go online..


Anyways, Its that time of year again where fasting is the trend for a month. Yes my friend, its Ramadhan..

Yo, did you know that besides testing our faith, fasting also gives benefits to the human body?

Yep it does.. for example fasts actually improve insulin sensitivity and this is pretty big deal. When your cells are sensitive to the effects of insulin, they do a much better job modulating your blood sugar levels after meals and this makes life a lot easier for your poor old pancreas. Loss of insulin sensitivity is a risk factor for both heart disease and diabetes. Besides this, fasts also reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in cells. Many theorize that this helps prevent and repair DNA damage that could otherwise develop into cancer. There’s even some research suggesting that fasting slows the little clocks that tick inside our mitochondria and trigger senescence, or aging. In other words, fasting might help us live longer by keeping our organs youthful.

Well then, what are you waiting for? Ramadhan is here lets all get our fasting gear on and lets fast.. For God and also for our health..



TO ALL MY MUSLIM FRIENDS I WISH THEM HAPPY RAMADHAN AND HAPPY FASTING!!!
