Abstract in brief

  • Intermittent fasting during Ramadan reduces levels of proinflammatory cytokines (IL1, IL6, TNF) and immune cells (leukocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, lymphocytes) in healthy individuals, indicating a decrease in inflammation.
  • The study found that body weight, body fat percentage, and blood pressure also significantly decreased during Ramadan fasting, suggesting additional health benefits.
  • These effects were observed during Ramadan and persisted to some extent even after fasting ended, implying that Ramadan fasting may help improve overall inflammatory and immune responses.
