this Ramadan brings with it 18-hour fast
at the peak of Summer a challenge for
the body and mind in this short video we
look at what happens to your body when
you
fast less blood will be flowing to your
digestive system when you fast so more
blood will be sent to other tissues in
your body in addition your body will use
the fasting period to remove deposits of
cholesterol that line the blood
vessels when you breathe your body can
absorb thousands of toxins which are
infused in the environment around us
fasting helps us remove the toxins that
have built up within your
lungs your stomach uses a time during
fasting to clean itself and remove any
waste matter to allow for more efficient
digestion your intestines also use the
time during fasting to clean themselves
and remove any waste matter to allow for
more efficient
digestion your liver provides the body
with glycogen the secondary energy
source and breaks down fat to provide
glycerol another energy
source when you are fasting your kidneys
increase the amount of diuresis the
process of excretion of salt and water
which leads to lower blood pressure the
month of fasting can be extremely
beneficial for us mentally spiritually
and physically as long as you eat the
right foods and don't push yourself too
hard physically you may find yourself in
a healthier State at the end of the
month
