Religious scholar Riasat Ali Khan has said that Ramadan has a significant impact on our daily lives, both spiritually and physically.

Taking part in the live Ramadan Transmission on Wednesday, he elaborated that fasting during Ramadan helps to cultivate self-discipline and mindfulness, and provides an opportunity for increased prayers and charitable acts. He further said that Ramadan can have a positive impact on health, including potential improvement in insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.

Renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Fazal Akbar Safi said that fasting can have an impact on gastrointestinal function, including changes in bowel habits, stomach acidity and gallbladder contraction.
