Fasting is one way that can nourish the body. The reason is because our bodies can rest after being filled with various types of food and drinks.
Fasting is also beneficial for improving cholesterol profile and losing weight.
"There is a case study proving that after fasting, a number of people can reduce excess body weight and improve their cholesterol profile," as said Felicia Kartawidjajaputra, Manager of Nutrifood Research Center in the Media Gathering 2021 #NutriTalk which Nutrifood held virtually on Friday (9/4 / 2021).
This condition can be obtained if we can refrain from overeating, especially when breaking the fast.
"When breaking the fast, people tend to overeat. Dates and bread are consumed more than usual. During suhoor and iftar, people eat as much as possible to cope with the energy lost during fasting. As a result, we gain weight," he explained.
There are three things in a person's life that can change when fasting :
- namely changes in diet
- sleeping time
- physical activity, which affect health
