The Benefits of Fasting for Human Health
In terms of medical studies that prove that fasting has many benefits, the following are some of the benefits of fasting:

the world, especially in Indonesia with a growing number of smokers
continues to increase each year of heart disease is a real threat.
Fortunately, fasting has a very good for the heart, when fasting, our
body turns do increase HDL and decrease LDL according to the research
"chronobiological" it turns out that is healthy for the heart and blood
vessels.
Psychology The Quiet Prevent Chronic Diseases
In
addition to hunger and thirst, fasting also requires us anger. This
makes the psychological state of a person become calmer and
scientifically would reduce levels of adrenaline in the body. The lack
of adrenaline will give good effects on the body such as: preventing the
formation of cholesterol and bile contraction better where it can
reduce the risk of vascular disease, heart and brain as coronary heart
disease, stroke and others.
Mindset More Sharp & Creative
Fasting
makes the mind becomes calmer and also slowed, according to the study
was unique mind that this makes it work slowed more sharply. Moreover in
terms of instinct, the problem of hunger is a matter of survival so
normal that hunger forced us to think more sharp and creative.
This
is also evidenced by a case at a group of students at the University of
Chicago are asked to fast for seven days. During that time, proved that
their mental alertness increased and their progress in various
assignments campuses got an "REMARKABLE."

Sexual Performance Increases Rapidly
A
study about the relationship of fasting with virility hormone levels
(testosterone), stimulants sac (FSH) and lemotin (LH) prove that fasting
is true inhibit sexual desire and lowers testosterone. But this is a
temporary, even after several days of fasting cycles are run precisely
the production of testosterone and sexual performance have increased
rapidly.
Reduce Obesity
scientifically
fasting also have an impact on weight loss. By fasting intestines in
the body will be cleaner than the remains of sediment food, food
Deposition is that if the excess will be fat in the belly. Besides
fasting also improve our digestive system, so that the circulation of
food and defecation becomes more smoothly.
Abatement & Healing Mental Illness
Our
brain has the function of cleaning inside. brain with the help of the
cell called the "neuroglial cells". When fasting, the cells are dead or
diseased neurons, will be "eaten" by this neuroglial cells, where it is
likely to impact one's mental. in fact, a scientist in the field of
psychiatric named Dr. Ehret stated that: "A few days of fasting will
have an impact on physical health and more to get mental health, a
person should undergo fasting more than 21 days.
Immune Increased
Instead
limp so that it becomes easy to get sick, it turns fasting actually
boost immunity. This is supported by research that even common, namely
regarding: When a fast there will be an increase in lymphocytes up to
10-fold in the body, this gives a considerable influence on the immune
system, so that fasting actually prevent us from various viruses from
the environment outside / food was not good.
Healthy For Kidney
Kidneys
filter harmful substances is everything we eat and drink, and fasting
makes the kidneys more healthy, why? As renal function would be
maximized if the power of osmosis urine reach 1000 to 12,000 osmosis ml /
kg water, and the only way is to reduce the intake of water is when
fasting.
Abatement Diabetes & Nutrition Other advantages
Obesity,
hypercholesterolemia, diabetes and diseases caused by excess nutrients
from the body of the other is due to excess blood sugar and cholesterol.
With the fast consumption of sugar and fatty foods can be better
controlled and reduced which will contribute to the return of the
balance of the blood sugar and cholesterol.
Bidder Joint Pain / Rheumatism
Regular
fasting will increase natural neutralizing cells in our body that will
make arthritic pain slowly toward healing. One study found a correlation
between the increasing ability of neutralizing cells (bacteria killing)
with the improvement in arthritis causes of gout.
Neutralize Toxins
Fasting
for health benefits also serve to neutralize toxins in the body. During
fasting, the body will detoxify or excrete toxins from the digestive
system. When the body uses fat stores to make up the energy, fat
reserves to burn any harmful toxins in the body.
The balance of anabolism and catabolism
In
contrast to hunger or starvation in various forms can interfere with
the body's health. On the contrary, during fasting there is a balance of
anabolism and catabolism that result in amino acid and a variety of
other substances to help the rejuvenation of cells and their components
produce blood glucose and amino acids in the blood supply throughout the
day. Reserve adequate protein in the liver due to the intake of
nutrients is currently open and the meal will still be able to create
the conditions for the body continues to produce essential proteins such
as albumin, globulin and fibrinogen. This does not happen on a
long-term starvation, due to the accumulation of large amounts of fat,
so the risk of liver cirrhosis. While fasting in Ramadan, liver function
is still active and well.
Would not result in the acidification of the blood
Then,
also in contrast to starvation, in fasting research shows amino acid is
oxidized slowly and substances not increased ketones in the blood so it
will not lead to acidification of the blood.
No effect on human blood cells
In
the study, fasting has no effect on human blood cells and there is no
difference reticulocyte count, red blood cell volume and the average
concentration of hemoglobin (MCH, MCHC) compared with those who did not
fast.

Influence on Pregnant and lactating mothers
There
is a fast study in pregnant women, nursing mothers, and the group was
not pregnant and not breastfeeding in the township Afika West. It turned
out that in that study concluded there were no differences in levels of
serum glucose, free fatty acids, trigliserol, ketones, beta hydroxy
butyrate, alanine, insulin, glucagon, and hormone thyroxine.
Fasting influence on fertility Women (hormone virgisteron)
While
the study female hormone disruption in hormone virgisteron when
implementing fast. However, 80% of the study population showed a
decrease in the hormone prolactin. This study shows new hope for
patients with infertility or female infertility induced prolactin
levels. So when fasting, she still has a great opportunity to stay in
the fertile conditions.
Repair and restoration of function and performance of the cells
When
the fast changes and massive conversion of the amino acids that
accumulate from food, before it is distributed in the body occurs
reformat. Thus, providing new opportunities bud cells to repair and
restore function and performance. Fasting diet can supply fatty acids
and essential amino acids when eating a meal and break the fast. Thus
forming shoots of protein, fat, phosphate, cholesterol and others to
build new cells and clean the fat cells that clot in the heart.
Very effective in improving the concentration of urine in the kidneys and increase urine osmotic strength
Cessation
of water intake during fasting very effective in improving the
concentration of urine in the kidneys and increase urine osmotic
strength to reach 1000 to 12,000 osmosis ml / kg water. Under certain
circumstances it would provide protection against kidney function. Water
shortage in the fast turns can minimize the volume of water in the
blood. This condition results in a performance boost local regulatory
mechanisms of blood vessels and increase the prostaglandins, which in
turn spur job function and red blood cells.
Decrease in various hormones one of the secrets of living long-term
Endocrinology
research shows that diet during fasting that is rotating a burden in
the assimilation of food in the body. This situation resulted in a
decrease in spending digestive system hormones and insulin in large
quantities. Decrease in various hormones is one of the secrets of living
long-term
Helpful in the formation of sperm
Other
benefits shown in research on male fertility. In the study conducted
research on the hormone testosterone, prolactin, lemotin, and follicle
stimulating hormone (FSH), It turns out that the final results of these
studies fasting conclusion beneficial in sperm formation through changes
in hypothalamic-pituatari testicular hormones and the influence of both
testicles.
