you studied religions ? let me doubt it, the way you talk shows that they tought you that religions are bad political systems to control weak minds ...
as for reading your comments, if it's this one (supposed to show how bad fasting can be) then let me tell you one thing : you never tryed it, so dont comment it ....
"Not everyone responds well to fasting. Thin people, and those who are particularly sensitive to cold, can have a particularly hard time. Also, too much physical activity while fasting may also be a cause of headaches. During a fast, a person purposely abstains from food for a specific time. Fasting was popular throughout the ages for both religious and therapeutic purposes. A one-day fast is unlikely to cause any harm to a healthy body. Slightly longer fasts, such as two to three days, will also be tolerated well by a healthy organism. It is also important to know that no matter how short the duration, fasting is unwise and potentially dangerous for some people. This group of people includes pregnant and lactating women, people with cancer, diabetes, gout, hypoglycemia, stomach ulcers, liver, kidney, or lung disease. It could be potentially dangerous for anyone with a compromised immune system. Some health experts caution against fasts lasting more than two to three days. This applies even to healthy individuals, but if longer fasts are practiced, they should be medically supervised. "
first of all, children and old people are not obliged to fast, if some people choose to teach their children to fast, know that our religion wasnt made to harm people, on the countrary, people may be punished for harming themselves like that (btw dont compare european and musulman people over the size, it's obviously not a month of fasting that made them skinnier or weaker ...)
and it's the same for unhealthy people, they can skill fasting ramadan, it wasn't made for the purpose of health only, people fast to know what poor people endure all the year
so next time ask maybe dont talk about others religion when you only think that you know it
Ofc ive done religious studies and research and I obviously made my own opinions based on the knowledge I gained. How can you criticise me if you havent even taken the time to Question your own belief, its funny how in your mind when ever you feel you are questioning religion that god is listening and this guilt is such an amazing tool to control people. How better to control large amoutns of people without supervising them? make them think a divine being is watching and reading their minds! whatever, there is too much to discuss and ignorant minds are hard to cleanse.
Anyway, I also study, research and use health related knowledge in my life whether its mental health or physical, I train others in my spare time. I know what fasting is and when it is done, like i said I have many muslim friends who have asked me to join islam. Ofc, islam teaches to accept all religions.
Why do you need to try fasting? I cant try fasting because its against my meal plan. I have a specific Mass GAIN diet and I wish to gain muscle over the next 1-2 years before I begin my tonning stage. I will not harm my body. You have a WHOLE NEW body every 7 years and some organs reproduce in less years, skin for example reproduces much quicker. Our bodies are fueled by food and the body pays attention to how often and how MUCH you eat and if it realises that you eat only when the sun sets it will store fuel in the body so it is there for the whole day( FAT ).
There is a healthy way to Fast or even not eat for a week or more but you need to build up to it with proper stages.... no meats... only fruits and salads... only salads ... only water... then fast! but people eat Huge amounts of **** each time sun sets and then sleep with full stomach when the body is in its resting stage. Digesting food needs ENERGY, thats why you dont eat before sports so that the body doesnt have to work hard to digest and fuel muscles. You can get heart attacks etc...
it makes me laugh how little you think I know... ill criticise whatever I WANT!
p.s. dont start talking about peoples builds from different areas of the world because If you study human evolution you will see that I am right...
