WHAT DOES HIJAMAH,, QURAN AND FASTING HAVE IN COMMON??

A brief scientific approach

Muslims find themselves in the middle of an important month. This month is sacred to us. We do not only cleanse our soul, it’s also good for both your body and your health. Science finally backs this as well. You can rejuvenate your entire immune system by fasting for three days, according to new research. By fasting, the body is stimulated to produce new white blood cells. Scientists speak of a “remarkable breakthrough” according to the magazine Cell Stem Cell.

By fasting, a button will be switched on in your body, after which stem cells will start producing new white blood cells, with the result that the whole immune system recovers. “The whole system is as it were rebuilt.” says Professor Valter Longo of USC. “And the good news is that your body will throw out old or damaged parts of the system when you’re fasting.”

During the experiment, test subjects had to fast a number of times in a period of six months, varying between two to four days. Scientists discovered that the people who fasted had less pKa in their blood, an enzyme which is commonly linked to aging. Fasting also leads to a decrease in the hormone that increases the risk of cancer and tumor growth.

The funny thing is that Hijama does something similar to our body. Studies have demonstrated that, after a treatment with Hijama, there is a remarkable increase of white blood cells in our blood. These blood cells are as mentioned crucial to our immune system.
