An ancient Taoist practice called “bigu” is a form of fasting similar to modern low-carb diets.
The holy month of Ramadan will begin for Muslims around the world at different times this weekend, depending on their geographical location.
The ninth month of the Islamic calendar starts when a crescent moon is sighted in the sky, and ends 29 to 30 days later when the next crescent appears.
The observance of Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and barring a few medical and logistical exceptions, all able-bodied, adult Muslims are obliged to fast every day from sunrise to sunset for the duration of that month.
While most people know about the fasting requirement, many are not aware of the spiritual aspects of Ramadan, such as devoting oneself to prayers and recitations of the Qur’an, and not engaging in sinful behaviour.
