What is your suggestion about fasting? Is it good for health? Is it effects our body?

Yes, it is good to give rest to your digestive system and to clear it completely for which fasting is very good. Also in monsoon when we can not digest heavy food stuff it is better to fast once a week or eat only one meal per day.

To me Fasting is an important role in muslim religion. I am muslim ( Said before) and i fast also. I dont think it effects your health at all but it can effect your body. It can make you lose weight.

I think fasting is extremely healthy if done properly. I usually do a 3-5 day juice fast a few times a year to cleanse my body of toxins. I use mostly fresh vegetable juices as fruit juices are too sugary. Also, it is good to sometimes do a brown rice fast, where you eat nothing but brown rice for 10 days. It is not so much a fast, but a good cleanse.

No it donot effects our body but RAMADAN IS A TIME OF INTERNAL CLEANING that means that when we fast in the month of Ramadan it cleans our body.Doing Fasting makes ALLAH more happier if its directly owed from our heart and also in the world-meaning it cleans our stomach and prevent us from many different diseases.

I am thankfull to Allah for each n every breath i take, the best way i choose to thank Allah is to fast..it helps me purify myself n atleast have the realisation tht i have done something for which will make Allah happy..Islam has 5 Pillars n the 3rd pillar is to Fast during the month of RAMADAN... When Allah has ordered us to do it..then offcourse without any second thought it will be very gud n beneficial for us.. Lets get into the Advantages of fasting basically why ALlah has told us to Fast is to realise 1.The pain a soldier has to go through when he is on a war. travelling long distances fo rlong time without proper water n food.. 2.To realise the pain of the poor people who dnt get proper 3 times meals also... Wat happens when u fast.. When u fast from dawn to dusk.. u submit u r self to Allah..Do all the farz which are on u,prohibit u r self from bad things n do, see, hear which is gud alone,,wat happens is when u do all these through the month..u will get accustomed to it n u will follow the same through the remaining months...Allahumdulillah lead a halal life.. Scientifically wat happens... Doctors do advice us to fast one day a week..this gives rest to our body n eliminate all the waste from it & hence helps u to be healthy... Spiritually u gain self control, n u tend to keep u r self away from the worldly matters n understand the importance of following Allah's path, how much peace u get in tht..n At LAt ALlah is the supreme power... Never the less Allah is the supreme..n wat ever rules he has told us to follow n Quran, n throuch his messengers, help us to succeed in this worlds life n hereafter too
