Favorable Effects of Ramadan Fasting: Improvement in Lipid Profile
We all are aware of the positive physical results
of fasting in Ramadan but during fasting many healthy changes are also
taking place in the body, one of which is the decrease in serum triglyceride
and cholesterol levels. Cholesterol increased concentrations are harmful for
the body and have a negative impact on the ones health and well-being. High
levels of cholesterol not only increase the inflammation in the body but also
play an important role in the plaque formation in the arteries which results in
the development of cardiovascular disease such as hypertension, cardiomyopathy,
stroke, heart failure.
In UAE, an epidemiological research was conducted by the cardiologists for
many years to evaluate the effect of fasting on the serum lipid profile and the
results revealed fasting has positive impact on the lipid profile as increase
in high density lipoproteins (HDL) and decrease in serum triglyceride and cholesterol
levels was observed.
