Fasting or Hunger strike! | Pharmarun | Online Pharmacy in Nigeria.

Health and Wellness

One of the things I haven't come to terms with is fasting! 

It's so hard for me to fast, 2 days, 3 days, or even one day of fasting. I always wonder if I'm not taking an intentional hunger break!

I also recall the time when I promised myself that I would go too fast for 3 consecutive days, from the night before to 3 p.m. the following day, my eyes nearly fell out from hunger. The time was constantly going by, and I had tasted every kind of food in my head.

Likewise, I understand that some people are like me, very lazy to fast, but as a Christian, it's one of the most essential ways to strengthen your faith, not only for Christians but for Muslims as well as we get closer to Ramadan.

Going without food for a time, whether for health or religious reasons, can be good for you!

 Fasting has some fascinating health benefits.

Therefore, these practices are a way of purifying the body and strengthening the mind and, interestingly, the human body has a remarkable ability to withstand deprivation from food. 

However, it cannot manage sleep deprivation, so make sure you always get enough sleep.

Fasting benefits the body, and unless you have a medical problem, you should try it and see for yourself

It can help you lose weight and visceral fat

Reduces insulin resistance, which reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes

Fasting Can Help Clear The Skin And Prevent Acne

Fasting Contributes To Self-Enlightenment

Fasting Improves Your Eating Patterns

Decreases inflammation from chronic conditions like arthritis.

Fasting can improve blood pressure.

While there are many benefits to fasting, to stay healthy and really enjoy the process, you must be conscious of your diet. Endeavour to include fruits and vegetables in your diet. Also take the right supplements to maintain beauty.

To get yourself diet supplements or a free pharmaceutical consultation, please contact us.

Talk soon,

I’m off to prepare myself for the fast 💜
