During Ramadan, long fasting hours give the body time to shift from using food for energy to using stored resources. When glucose levels drop for an extended period, the body begins clearing out old cell parts and recycling them for energy. This process supports cellular renewal. Ramadan’s pattern of daily fasting creates a steady cycle of repair that repeats each day.
- Good to Know
A long enough fasting window is needed before repair begins. Many people reach this state during the later hours of the fast, when the body has fully used the energy from the last meal.
- ☕ Tips for Today
- Keep your Suhoor balanced so you stay steady through the day.
- Avoid overeating at Iftar to avoid slowing the repair cycle.
- Choose meals with protein, healthy fats, and slow-digesting carbs.
- Keep drinking water during non-fasting hours.
- Allow your body to rest during the final hours of your fast.
