The Intermittent Fasting to Improve Health Status

Abstract

In Islam, there are various forms of fasting, including sunnah fasting and mandatory fasting (Ramadan fasting). But as time goes on, a growing number of non-Muslims use fasting as a treatment for illnesses. Therapeutic fasting or intermittent fasting are terms frequently used to describe fasting aimed at curing this illness. Another popular and extensively studied alternative to medication therapy is intermittent fasting because it has many benefits for the physical and mental health of those who practice it. Through weight loss and improvements in cardiometabolic parameters, several clinical trials conducted in recent years have demonstrated the potential health advantages of intermittent fasting, especially for disorders like obesity, diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. While many people can use Intermittent Fasting (IF) to lose weight or cleanse their bodies, certain negative consequences might occur during the first month of fasting. The most frequent adverse effects are headaches, mood swings, dizziness, exhaustion, and polyuria. The severity of each symptom varies, ranging from minor to severe.
