The blessed month of Ramadan is the month in which Muslims fast from dawn until sunset, and this month is considered an opportunity for reflection, prayer, worship, self-improvement, and performing good deeds. Below are some positive effects of this month on the health of the fasting person. ​

​

1-​​​Regulating bad cholesterol
Many seek to take advantage of the fasting opportunity to lose some weight, but a recent study has proven that fasting also affects fat levels and leads to a decrease in blood cholesterol levels. This contributes to reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other diseases.

2-Suppressing appetite
Fasting during the month of Ramadan represents an important and positive turning point in the life of the fasting person and the health of their digestive system, as the body's habituation to consuming smaller amounts of food gives the digestive system a chance to rest and leads to a gradual shrinking of the stomach size and appetite reduction, and it can have better results than the most effective types of diets.

3-Detoxification throughout the month​ 
​Fasting helps consume fat reserves and cleanses the body of harmful toxins that may be present in fat accumulations. Thus, the body begins to naturally eliminate toxins as a result of the changes occurring in the digestive system's function throughout the month, providing the fasting person with an opportunity to continue following a healthy lifestyle after Ramadan.

4-Enhancing mental health and improving mood​ 
Fasting is an effective means to recharge the brain and promote the growth and development of new brain cells, as well as sharpening the ability to respond to information from the surrounding world. Studies also indicate that fasting makes the brain more capable of withstanding stress and adapting to change, and it can improve mood, memory, and learning ability.
