amadan health guide a guide to healthy fasting Supported by the CContents FASTING is complete abstinence from food and drink between dawn and dusk All those who are ill or frail pregnant or menstruating women breastfeeding mothers and travellers are exempted They are required to make up the number of days missed at a later date or give a ?xed sum to charity Page Foreword Page Acknowledgements and useful contacts Page Introduction Page The physiological changes that occur during a fast Page Foods that bene ?t and foods that harm Page Spirituality and food Page What could you gain from fasting Page Potential health complications and possible remedies Page Frequently asked questions Page Key points in translation Page Tips for healthcare professionals C Foreword I am very pleased to support the development of the Ramadan health guide which has been independently produced by Communities in Action in order to provide information and advice on maximising health gain during the Muslim fast We hope it will also prove useful to others fasting for religious or spiritual reasons The Department of Health is committed to responding to the needs and preferences of all sections of our diverse population and this guide is one of a range of activities we have supported in order to promote public health among all sections of the population There is considerable evidence to suggest that large sections within Muslim communities experience signi ?cant health inequalities although this is not uniform across all Muslim communities or all aspects of health In particular Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities tend to su ?er poorer health than the general population We hope that this guide alongside the Department ? s targeted campaigns such as our Asian Tobacco Helpline will help to address these inequalities As part of our commitment to creating a patient-led NHS the Department of Health and the NHS will continue to work in partnership with community-based organisations to meet the needs of all communities including faith communities and to promote better health for all Surinder Sharma National Director Equality and Human Rights Department of Health CAcknowledgements Communities in Action would like to thank the following individuals for their contribution to this publication Edited and compiled by Ajmal Masroor Director Communities in Action Authors Dr Razeen Mahroof BM MRCP UK FRCA Anaesthetist Oxford Dr Rizwan Syed BM DRCLG General Practitioner Birmingham Dr Ahmed El- Sharkawy BM MRCP UK Specialist Registrar in Gastroenterology Tehseen Hasan BSc Hons State Registered Dietitian Birmingham Sahra Ahmed MPharm Pharmacist Manchester Dr Fuad Hussain Revised Dr Naveed Ahmed Dr Amar Ahmed Research Henrietta Szovati Communities in Action Dr Shahnaz Ahmad DRCOG MRCGP Dr Amar Ahmed MBBS DCH DRCOG MRCGP Dr N Ahmad MRCS MSc BSc Hons DO -HNS Specialist Registrar in ENT Surgery Advisors Dr Fatima Husain MBBS MRCGP MRCOG DIPM Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist Dr Usama Hasan Imam and Lecturer Layout and design Nafe Anam Useful contacts British Heart Foundation Fitzhardinge Street London W H DH www bhf org uk Diabetes UK Central Of ?ce
