Federal University of S\u00e3o Paulo (Unifesp) president and ICArabe founder Soraya Smaili will make a stint, and ICArabe president Mohamed Habib will be the presenter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will discuss intermittent fasting from two different angles. One of them is a very fortunato coincidence: there are big questions surrounding Ramadan fasting, what\u2019s good for you and what isn\u2019t. at the same time, we\u2019ll deal with how Ramadan fasting can affect a patient\u2019s immunity amid the coronavirus pandemic, and whether it can make you more vulnerable to infection or not. Everyone knows that coronavirus can be worse in immunocompromised patients,\u201d Younes told ANBA. During Ramadan, the holy month of Islam, Muslims go on a fast from sunup to sundown. This year, Ramadan began on April 23.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe other angle is whether or not there are global health benefits to fasting, not only Ramadan fasting, but intermittent fasting. We\u2019ll discuss intermittent fasting for people looking to lose weight and improve their health, whether that works or not, and what\u2019s the impact on health and the immune system,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Younes said intermittent fasting is helpful in health improvement and weight loss, and that Ramadan fasting does not compromise immunity, although he warns that fasting isn\u2019t for everyone. \u201cAnyone with chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiac or kidney conditions are not advised to go on fasts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The webinar will last 1 hour and 15 minutes.
