Fasting Benefits


Hello everyone!

It is from my pleasure to inform you about Ramadan. I thought my classmates might explain Ramadan from a religious perspective, so I will share a few minutes from a common Saudi Program which has been shown every Ramadan for the past 10 years.

This video shows how logical and scientific Islam is. In fact Islam has used scientific fact for more than 1400 years. 






Scientists believe the body has environmental toxins and other harmful substances that can be removed by fasting or detoxifying the body. They claim that fasting allows the body to focus energy on cleansing and healing itself. they found that fasting helps the immune system work more efficiently, allows more oxygen and white blood cells to flow through the body, helps the body burn more fat, helps increase energy, and allows other healing functions to improve. Some supporters claim that fasting by a person who has cancer can "starve" a tumor, leading to cell death.


Few people realize all the health consequences of fasting and that perhaps Ramadan has depended upon it as a way to 'heal' the body and soul.

My Seattle


Seattle means a new life to me with new experiences and amazing views. The changes of the seasons during the year give me strength because the weather and the mixture of nature's colors in the sea, sun, clouds and green lands gives me hope, optimism and satisfaction.






 
My new hobby in Seattle has been cooking because I am a newlywed and neither of us knew how to cook. So I started to read a lot of cook books, to search the internet and ask my mother about some dishes. It was difficult for me at the beginning but now it so exciting.
