Fasting and health

It's been a really interesting discussion in our topic today, as we wrap up let's take a review of the key points and recommendations when it comes to fasting

1. Fasting when done should be done with supervision
2. Vulnerable age groups are not advised to fast, (this includes pregnant lactating mothers)
3. Fasting helps in blood glucose regulation and also weight management
4. After fasting, food should be taken in moderation and not in large quantities
5. Hydration during fasting is not out of place depending on the individual needs
6. If during fasting any adverse change is noticed... Please consult your doctor.

LENT is not about being perfect, its not about attaining some ideal standard of holiness, but rather it is about making time and space to connect with God and grow closer to Him.

As we enter this sacred season of Lent, may you be filled with a deep sense of purpose and reflection.
May your hearts be open to God’s transformative love, and may your spirits be renewed through prayer, fasting, and thanksgiving
Have a grace-filled, purifying, and life-transforming Lenten season.

As we welcome the blessed month of Ramadan, may Allah (SWT) grant you the strength to observe fasting with devotion, fill your hearts with compassion, and bless your homes with peace and prosperity.
May this sacred period renew your faith, strengthen our unity, and guide you on the path of righteousness.

Ramadan Kareem to the Muslim Ummah, Emi a reyin osu
