Ramadan is the fourth of the five pillars of the fasting month of Ramadan. Fasting in Allah is so important that in the Hadith, Allah Ta'ala said, 'Fasting is for me and I will reward it'.

In fasting, a Muslim has to abstain from all kinds of food and physical relations till the day of Ramadan in the month of Ramadan, from Sadiq to Sunnah. Also, Muslims try to keep their minds under control over all kinds of quarrels and lies.

That is why fasting does not only make spiritual progress but also physical and mental progress.

As a result of biological research we know that the body of each organism is a superior and fine biochemical factory and it is necessary to keep it energy. To provide such energy, the creator arranged various types of food for the living organisms. Generally, one person has to take food at least three times a day to keep this energy supply. However, because of being a developed spirit creature, the difference between humans and animals is that humans can control their hunger and thirst. Ramadan, in fact, teaches people to control their instincts.

The question is, how are we refraining from eating food during the day during the fasting day. Fasting is beneficial for our body, or does fasting affect our body. Many Muslim and non-Muslim scientists have conducted and researched scientific research and research from neutral point of view to answer these questions. We will try to know about the position of fasting in the light of scientific research in the above article.

Moderate dietary effects on health

For the convenience of measuring our food, the one that is used alone is called calorie. MacKay and his associate scientific team have found that lifetime reductions in the total amount of calories consumed as daily food increases life expectancy. After the study published in the Nutrition Journal in 1989, many scientists became interested in research on calories, restricted diet and various types of fast (fasting). Apart from striking Islam, there is a tradition of religious festivals having different types of fasting in other religions. For example, calorie restricted fasting of Orthodox Christians - where reduced daily consumption of food is reduced by 40%, alternate day fasting - where one day after one day, all the food should be avoided without water for 24 hours.

Research on calorie restricting, scientists have found that reducing the amount of calories consumed during the day increases physical stability and reduces the complications caused by several complex diseases. For example, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease and neurodegenerative disease caused by fat accumulation in the blood vessel.

Physiological changes in the body of the day every

The key elements of human body include: protein, sugar, fat, vitamins, mineral and water. The energy that comes in the daily work of the people comes from food. Generally, there is a balance between food intake and energy expenditure. If the food consumed excess food requirements for a long time, it is stored in the body as an additional fat and after consuming less food than necessary, the normal structure of the body is broken. Since Muslims have to fast for a long month, Naturally the weight is somewhat reduced. But due to the beautiful system called Sahari and Iftar, the weight loss rate is not at the alarming level. Knowing how physiological changes occur in human body during the fasting day, we will be able to understand the effect of Rosa on the human body.

The food that is taken in the Sahaj during the fasting season helps in accumulating liver carbohydrate as the primary storage for all day long. Then one part of the energy consumed by the day's work comes from that sugar and one part comes before Ramadan and by eating food from Iftar to Sahari during Ramadan, through fat metabolism in the body's adipose tissue. As a result, after the month of Ramadan a weight of a rojadar may also be slightly reduced. However, it depends on the fasting food during the Iftar and Saharah and at the time of fasting. Note that, on other occasions, the Muslims accepted three main mills (morning, noon and dinner), but in Ramadan they took two main mills (Sahi and Iftar food).

It has been found in the study that in Ramadan, there is a great change in the type of food along with Muslim food during the month of Ramadan. If Ramadan month comes to our country, it is eaten with potato peas, peju, purpuri and Bhajapora food during the iftar. Besides, fruits and fruit juices, chiles, cardamom, bananas and other fruits, including dates, are also consumed. The tendency of biryani, Tehri, and Palau national food also increased. Mr. G. Frost and S. Paryani conducted research on 15 Saudi states in 1987 that during the month of Ramadan, the number of times their food intake has decreased, on the other hand the increase in food intake of sugar, protein and fatty foods has increased. Since the time of fasting is to be stopped from drinking water, then due to sweat, stools and urine, the amount of water decreases after a certain time of day. In this situation, kidneys try to hold blood water through different hormones.

The effect of fasting on body fat and weight; Scientists have done many research on fat, weight and body mass index of Muslims in Rosarath. The results of their research were mixed. That is, no experiments have shown that, the weight of the fasting days of Ramadan is reduced, no one is unchanged, and no one has increased weight. It is said as the main reason for the change in diet of people in everyday life. Although they are not eating at all during the day, they are consuming more food during the Iftar period. Besides, eating more for saving calories more during Sahari. In 2012, Trabelsi and his associates conducted research on two types of fastiders. A group of those who practiced aerobic exercise such as cycling and swimming at the right time before iftar and another group did the same exercises after iftar. They see that after the fasting of the body of the first group decreased fat, it remains unchanged in the next group.

In 2013, research on the same group of scientists, Tunisian body-builders, found that there was no change in their body fat and lone body massage at the end of the fasting. It is believed that due to the low cost of energy in the body-building, this is the case.

Therefore, the above studies are assumed that if the amount of food is controlled during the Iftar and Saharah during Ramadan, then weight will decrease. Those whose Body Mass Index exceeded the standard limit of 24 and above, they can take Ramanan month as a good time to lose weight.
