Health and Fitness, - Stomach Swelling After Breaking the Fast

Question: Whenever I start eating, my stomach swells, and I get a stomachache when it is empty. What do you advise me to start with when breaking my fast inRamahdaan? Answer: Assalaamu ‘Alaykum, First of all, we must know the reason behind these symptoms. You may be suffering from an infection in your stomach, or it may irritable bowel syndrome. Therefore, you must get a speculum test done in order to know what is causing this pain in order to treat it. As for what to eat when breaking your fast, then, naturally, it is best to follow the food system recommended by the Prophet,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, which is to start with fresh dates. If they are not available, then dry dates, and if this is also not available, then water. If your swelling is a lot, then you may drink lemon juice with mint because it is very helpful for stomach swelling after eating. You must reduce the consumption of greasy foods and spices, and must avoid sleeping or lying down soon after eating. If these practices prove to be insufficient, then you can take some medication like Disflatyle. However, we recommend you see a doctor for this so that the cause for these symptoms can be better defined and thus properly treated.

Health and Fitness, - Normal Blood Sugar Levels While Fasting

Question: Once while I was fasting, I had my blood sugar level checked and it was 120. Then I started to reduce my sweets and sugar consumption. A few months later I checked it regularly again for a while when I was fasting and two hours after breaking my fast. The results during the fasting periods ranged between 100-105, while after I ate they ranged between 110-130. Is this normal, knowing that I am not diabetic? Answer: Assalaamu ‘Alaykum, dear sister. You have failed to provide us with many important facts that can better help us assess your case: Are you or did you ever suffer from any symptoms before, like abnormal thirst, loss of weight or excessive urination? Do you have any chronic diseases? How much do you weigh? Are any family members diabetic? However, generally speaking, and based on what you mentioned in your question, your blood sugar before you started the diet was slightly high but it would not classify you as a diabetic person. On the other hand, the other results mentioned were normal. Sugar levels are medically used to judge whether or not a person is considered diabetic, and they are as follows: For normal people: To classify a person as diabetic, the blood sugar level of a person who was fasting for a period of 8-10 hours must be equal to or higher than 126 mg. To classify a person as diabetic, the blood sugar level for a person in a normal situation )without fasting( must be higher than 200 mg. People who are diabetic candidates: Such people must maintain a monitored regimen of diet and physical exercise, and their blood sugar after fasting must range between 110-126 mg. Without fasting, their blood sugar must be less than 110 mg. Therefore, we advise the respected sister to exercise and be moderate in her consumption of sweets.

Health and Fitness, - Headache When Fasting

Question: I constantly suffer from a headache, especially when I fast. What could be causing this? Answer: Assalaamu ‘Alaykum, There are many things that could be causing this constant headache. Migraine or stress could be causes of this. Secondary headaches result from organic problems, like sinuses, teeth problems, eye problems, high blood pressure or a bad nervous system. Migraine is the type of headache that increases when you fast. The reason for this is that when you fast, your sugar level drops, which increases the severity of the headache. Physical exhaustion and mental stress also contribute to the problem. Additionally, some perfumes and food, and staying up late at night also add to the problem, as well as many other reasons. However, to properly diagnose the problem, you must consult a physician who could advise you to adhere to certain preventive measures that could stop the recurrence of the headache, or at least reduce its severity. After treatment, you may resume fasting.

Each Protein Molecule in our bodies acts with discipline to carry out Allah's commands. Allah, the Lord of the worlds, is the One Who creates each molecule to do "absolute must" type operations.
Albumin, which is one of the "carrier" proteins in the blood, binds itself to fats like cholesterol, hormones, toxic gallbladder materials and drugs such as penicillin. Albumin travels with the blood in the body and leaves the poisons which it collects in the liver for neutralization, and carries the nutrients and hormones wherever they are needed throughout the body.
* How does a molecule like albumin, which is made up from atoms and do not have consciousness or knowledge, distinguish between fats, poisons, drugs and nutrients?
* How does the albumin recognize between the liver, gall bladder and stomach and take the substances which it carries to the right place, in the right amount and invariably without error?
* How does it recognize the differences between toxic substances, drugs and nutrients carried in the blood and understand exactly how much should be left in which organ?
The albumin molecule, which is a combination of a few unconscious atoms, knows information that the vast majority of people do not know without proper education, and has performed its duty in every person who has ever lived thus far for millions of years. The capability of showing a consciousness like this doubtlessly takes place through Allah's infinite power and knowledge.
