Look I'm gonna hold my hands up in the air and admit it. I do fast, basically everyday. I end up skipping breakfast and lunch and don't have dinner until like 9pm. That doesn't mean its healthy. Its very very unhealthy in fact and can increase weight gain. There are only mild advantages to fasting but o
nly if you still eat at least 600 calories on that day. Otherwise your body reduced its metabolism so you have less energy because it thinks "OK, no food, better go into energy conservation mode". That means you have less energy to move, think etc. so you are less productive, efficient and alert.
Furthermore, you ARE NOT SERIOUSLY quoting me the dailymail. You did not just do that. You expect me to believe the dailymail over the NHS! Are you a lunatic?! The Daily mail is just sensationalism designed to sell papers and make money, whereas the NHS is actually in existence to improve people's health so.... there you go.
And I might have quoted the NHS website:
http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Healthyramadan/Pages/fastinghealthrisks.aspxBut you quoted us a passage from a religious text! So I don't see how that proves anything either (and I don't accept that quoting the NHS website doesn't prove anything, it absolutely does).
You justify your argument with the teachings of a medieval text, whereas I justify mine with modern medical advice from an independent body whose vested interest is in improving the health of people in Britain.
And I don't expect you to change your mind about your religion, if you want to
believe an outdated ideology then that's up to you, just don't try to justify your beliefs to other people using your own book. That would be like a communist justifying communism with the communist manifesto or a facist justifying racism with main Kampf. You can't do it, you make think it justifies what you say because you believe it but it won't convince others. At least try and prove your belief with real evidence. Your response was a little better, but you still ended up quoting the DailyMail, I mean seriously? SERIOUSLY!
