Zakir Naik – Fasting vs. Anorexia

			Somebody wants to know, how does fasting differ from anorexia?
		

			anorexia by definition means loss of appetite.
		

			It's the particular word useful of appetite. And many times this happens in certain people.
		

			Due to dieting, it's common in young ladies.
		

			It's a sort of a disease, that those who died, they abstain from food, and then that becomes the
habit. And they don't want to have anything. And sometimes they may go into anorexia nervosa, their
psychological disorder, that they fear eating, thinking that if they eat, they will increase weight.
And that becomes a psychological disorder.
		

			So anorexia is the theme of loss of appetite. And dieting is not preferred. Because most of the
people that that the moment they come off the diet, they either go into anorexia nervosa, that's
secondary storage I mentioned, which if you're eating anything, in case of it, and then they lose
weight, the health goes down, or they go into a binge of overeating, a bulimic, you know, they eat
excessive food. And there were several researches conducted on this, including in Michigan in 1985.
Were
		

			about 557 young ladies
		

			enrolled in the University, out of which 86% were dieting, only 2%
		

			of them, they have to eat excessively, when six months time 19% added into the bulimic category,
they say eating more, because the moment you stop dieting, you tend to eat excessively and we can
move fat or you go wife was on the other side and Rosa Rosa, where you don't need at all and that
damages your body.
		

			Well gonna help us not to get into that.
		

			Next question, what is the scientific
		

			difference between fasting and starvation,
		

			fasting scientifically, starts somewhere close to within 12 hours to optimally force
		

			and when the carbohydrate reserves of the body are used as a source of energy, it's called as
fasting
		

			moment it starts
		

			after maybe a few hours, initially the food is utilized and the food intake reduces and when the
carbohydrate reserves of the body is used for energy source is called fasting. But after the
carbohydrate source in the body depletes gets completely used up, then the protein is used. When
protein is used as a source of energy, it's called a starvation. Then you find that the muscle mass
keeps on reducing the person becomes thin and it becomes unhealthy scientifically when the
carbohydrate source gets depleted, and the protein sources used. It's called a starvation which is
not good for the body at all. Fasting is healthy for the body. starvation is unhealthy.
