    Ramadan does not have rules about what to eat. The rules are when to eat and quie straightforward. During Ramadan you fast from Dawn till sunset, unless fasting poses a risk to your health (sick, children, elderly, pregnant…)

      Oh well that makes complete sense and isn’t about control at all!

        As someone who has fasted for Ramadan the first time this year i can assure you, that nobody was controlling me except myself. While i also felt it to help me physically, it helped me a lot mentally.

        I learned to appreciate the abundance of food and water we have and to have more compassion for people lacking it.

        I also learned to have more control over my body and differentiate between actual needs and mere wants.
