Benefits of intermittent fasting during Ramadan

How does intermittent fasting work?

Fasting changes where your body gets its energy. Typically, your energy comes from sugar. If you eat constantly while awake and don’t exercise, your body simply runs on the calories you consume. If you don’t use all the sugar you take in during the day, your body stores it as fat.

When you go hours without eating, your body eventually runs out of stored sugar to use. Instead, it begins to burn fat to produce energy.
