Benefits of fasting in curing disease
Coincidentally, I live in a Muslim-majority neighbourhood. In front of my rented house, there is a mosque. So, yesterday when Muslims were performing Friday prayers, an ustad (cleric) gave a lecture. Because the mosque is in front of my house, I also listened to the cleric's lecture. The study of the lecture was on the benefits of fasting for health.
Fasting is an obligation for all Muslims. This annual fasting activity is believed to be able to cure several diseases. It sounds strange, but when I searched on health sites, fasting was indeed able to provide health for anyone who practised it.
For those of you who are fasting, you will not only get a reward, but you can also cure diseases. Medical research has proven the miracle of this fast. Several diseases can be cured by fasting. Therefore, for those of you who still often don't fast, let's fast! Get rewards and a healthier body by fasting.
Below, are the diseases that can be cured by fasting according to the cleric who was giving a lecture in front of my house yesterday.
Fasting can cure ulcer disease
According to the medical world, fasting can cure stomach or ulcer disease. When you are fasting, you are balancing the acid content in the stomach. Acid is considered to be a trigger for a person to have heartburn. Fasting is believed to regulate the distribution of acids that interfere with the digestive system of the stomach.
Treating shortness of breath
Fasting has a great effect on relieving the symptoms of shortness of breath. This is because the stomach is empty of food. Then it will allow the body cavity bulkhead to move freely. In the end, the lungs can work better and increase in size. Shortness of breath can be done significantly through fasting.
Help treat inflammatory diseases
Fasting can cure inflammatory diseases for some people. When fasting the immune glands will be active, producing several elements that fight disease. Besides that, it can also treat inflammatory diseases of the muscles, arthritis, and inflammation of the nasal cavity. The preacher said, there were already 13 patients with rheumatic diseases who began to improve their joint inflammation by fasting. But I don't know the proof.
Help stop smoking addiction
The dangerous disease will threaten someone who smokes. However, it is very difficult for cigarette addicts to get rid of their smoking habit. The moment of fasting can be used for smokers to quit smoking. Make sure you have a strong intention and determination to quit smoking.
Fasting treats eye diseases
Fasting activities can also be used to cure eye diseases. According to the results of research by European doctors, glaucoma in the eye will heal when fasting. Glucose is a constriction of the visual field and a reduction in nerve tenderness. By fasting, you will have sharper vision than usual.
Help treat blood vessel disease
Rhenoid disease is a narrowing of the veins in the walls of the blood vessels. This disease is caused by nervous tension, smoking and mental stress. Fasting activities are believed to be able to ward off harmful effects and interfere with health. This is obtained from the peace of mind and nerves that are felt when fasting. If this fasting therapy is continued, the disease will slowly disappear.
That's information about the benefits of fasting to cure disease according to the cleric who gave a lecture at the mosque in front of my house yesterday. Believe it or not, however, if you have the diseases I mentioned above, there's nothing wrong with trying fasting therapy. No need to worry, you just need to fast and feel the benefits when you are sick. Thank you
