Dubai: As Ramadan helps reset the physiological functions of the body, experts advise moderation during Eid in order to capitalise on the health benefits that accrue during Ramadan. We can reinstate the normal rhythm and avoid excessive feasting during the festive week.

Dr Hamed Farooqi, director at the Dubai Diabetes Centre of the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), said: “Ramadan teaches people self-control. What one learns during this period must be followed for the rest of the year. So during Eid, slowly re-introduce eating and do not overwhelm your body with heavy food, sugar and oil. This can actually trigger high blood glucose episodes. This can happen even to non-diabetic individuals. “
Dubai: As the summer heat builds up and more and more people stay indoors, at home or at the workplace, experts caution against a serious health threat stemming from poorly ventilated systems.
Dr Ali Anwar Mohammad, Specialist Pulmonologist at Prime Healthcare Group, said, “Usually indoor air vents will have any kind of microbes or organisms such as moulds, mites, dust pollens, fungus, virus and bacteria in damp, dark and humid places within the system. With regular cleaning and airing, the vents are free of these organisms. However, if neglected, the lifespan of these organisms increases manifold and they multiply. This is especially significant as humidity levels are rising in summer and people are staying indoors,” he cautioned.
