Can fasting impact your heart health?

Fasting during Ramadan can have implications for your heart health. Some studies suggest that intermittent fasting might lower blood pressure and improve cholesterol levels, which are beneficial for heart health. However, if you have pre-existing heart conditions or are at risk of heart disease, you should consult your GP before fasting. It’s important to monitor your body’s responses and ensure that you are eating heart-healthy foods during suhoor and iftar, including whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
