DISCOVER HEALTH

This post is labeled under book review because I'm sharing some points I took from an interesting book that I've read, however this is only a partial review of the book as I am only sharing the points of fasting, detox and sahur (Due to the upcoming Ramadhan),  InsyaAllah if given the chance I'll cover on other topics in this book. This is the book: Quran saintifik (Scientific Quran) by Dr. Danial Zainal Abidin. A worthy book to read, revealing much of The Quran's wonders that probably are unknown to the majority of Muslims, including me. It's in malay, I've no idea if it comes in an english edition, anyway for all malays if you're looking for a good book to read, try this. The Blessings of Fasting Fasting is one of the five 'pillars of Islam'. The other four are;- Faith or belief in the Oneness of God and the finality of the prophethood of Muhammad. Establishment of the daily prayers. Concern for and almsgiving to the needy. The pilgrimag...

I'm out of ideas on what should I write, so today I'm sharing a few vital points I've extracted from a book I recently read, a few months back(considered recent? hmm..) Okay, it's a book by Michael Pollan, titled Food Rules: an eater's manual . And the truth is, I don't even know who this guy is, never heard of him what-so-ever but I found out there are a few other books published written by him, so I'm the one out-dated, it's not him unpopular or anything. This book is quite interesting, and different from any other books I've read. It's on, well, as the title suggest, food, more precise is choosing the kind right of food and how to distinguish between what really can be classified under the label 'food' and what should be under the label 'plastic'. Though it isn't a lengthy read, I won't be sharing every single word as he wrote it, this would be a synopsis of it sort, this will be my edition of food rules, just as long ...

For us Muslim, we do fast in the whole month of ramadhan, not 24/7. Starts after dawn until dusk, then we are entitled for a break. There are also other types of fasting, such as water-fast, fruit-fast and juice-fast. But the most beneficial fasting is the one which is the one where you hold yourself from ant drinks and food between dawn and dusk. When fasting  it is more than just holding yourself from food, you are holding back on anger, desire, lust and envy. For if you are merely just starving yourself and lose your temper, your hunger is a waste. Nothing is gained. So, it is a very lovely for the terms of fasting, to hold back all bad feelings and eating. It's a cleanse for the body and the soul. Scientifically proven that fasting is the best way of healing the body. Fasting gives our body the rest we need from digestion processes and heals us, let's look deeper into the benefits of fasting;- Shields oneself from illnesses of the heart, body and soul. Preserve health ...

But it is advisable to avoid big fishes as they may be tainted up to a certain degree due to the oil-spills in the ocean these days. It is said that the best choice of fishes would be the ones in moderate size, softest meat, lives in fresh water that flows, those which eat plants and the ones with scales, the finer the better as the scales filters out harmful substances that tries to go into the body of the fish.

And eating the fish part that is closest to the tail would be a better option than eating the upper part near th...
