    Ramadan Mubarak!

    Stay safe this month and if fasting is going to cause health issues, get your Imam to give you a pass until it does not negatively affect your health.

    Proper fasting promotes health. Did you know fasting for periods of time in excess of 24 hours turns on stem cells? Fasting triggers your body to reinforce healthy cells and kill off damaged cells.

    Prolonged fasting (72-96 hours) prior to chemotherapy has shown to do two specific things...1) it reduces the side effects of the chemotherapy and 2) it greatly increases the effect of the chemo on damaged (cancerous) cells because ether already weakened cells are more easily killed while the body's reinforcement of the good cells protects them.

    Read up on the work of Dr. Valter Longo at UC Berkley.

    Did you know fasting during daylight on an oil rig in July in the Arabian Sea can kill you? ;) That is why a Muslims can get an exemption to fast during Ramadan if it will seriously affect their health. When fasting no longer will affect it they just do a late Ramadan

    In case anyone is wondering, a simple greeting and well wishes on the occasion of a religious holiday doesn't constitute a violation of the "No discussing religion" rule. It's just a greeting, like "Happy Easter" and "Merry Christmas."

    If anybody decides to pollute the thread with the sort of contentious stuff that originally gave rise to that rule, moderation will ensue. If anybody wants to discuss it, feel free to PM me or any other mod; just keep it out of the thread.

    Let’s be clear, it’s not the lack of food that kills, it the lack of water.

    You can live a long time without food, in heat, cold, etc., but you need to stay hydrated for all metabolic activity to function.

    Of course, in cold climates, your body will burn reserves much faster that in warm climates, so lengths of time will vary.

    Sorry if I broke any rules but r offended anyone. Not my intent.
    True, but Ramadan fasting is no water, food or anything else ingested during daylight hours. When it is 130F on a rig, that takes a lot of safety management. Cool vests, spraying with water, lots and lots of breaks in the AC.
