What are the benefits of Ramadan fasting on human health?
More than 1.6 billions of Muslims all over the world are invited to fast Ramadan (Ramadan is the 9th Month in Hijri calendar). I'm asking about benefits of fasting 30 consecutive days on their health.
This member of the Canadian parliament has some answer in his congratulation.

Dear Dr. Singh,
All the benefits you listed are achievable in any kind of fasting.
But as per medical point of view, the person in fasting should not perform any laborious or hard work during fasting which may lead to loss of huge calories and loss of water and electrolytes by sweating. If it is continued for long time, parmanent damage of some body vital organs may happen.
Even if they have to do such work, they must take water as and when demanded by the body.
But the holy persons give advice for fasting to the common people, stay in rest under shade. Many poor people follow their advice and perform laborious works under the Sun.
The economically backward people in the professions like Coolies, Rickshaw pullers, Daily paid labourers etc. of hot and humid countries like the countries of Indian subcontinent follow the instructions of the holy persons in that hot, humid summar season and bring problems in their health.
You may like my comment or not, it is true.
Thanks.
