Fasting is over. The mood of Eid is over. During the month, the Muslim community fasted during the day. Fasting is very scientific. A very disciplined approach. There is no harm in fasting but many benefits. Many are already fasting.
People of other religions also do it. Benefits of fasting include improves body composition, boosts metabolism, lowers blood pressure which is good for the heart, good for cholesterol, reduces depression, improves brain function, increases longevity and acts as an antiaging agent, lowers blood sugar, fights inflammation and improves the immune system and reduces the risk of cancer.
Of course, not everyone can fast. Many people cannot fast due to health reasons. Many do not believe in religion. There is nothing called afterlife for them.
However, practicing religion is a personal matter. It has nothing to do with strength. I never talk about religion with anyone. Even among my Hindu friends or Christians or any other religion, not all of them go to temples or churches or their respective shrines.
I myself am respectful of other religions. People are important to me. Humanity is the greatest religion. I’m a weak minded, timid type so I can’t throw away the rules of religion. I like to pray, fast and give zakat.
Try to keep mind and body fresh. to be humane That’s why I don’t feel unsmart. I pray for everyone every day. Pray for my relatives, acquaintances, little acquaintances, friends, children. Wishing everyone a happy Bengali New Year.
