.....on intermittent fasting & exercise, exercise and exercise...........

tq akhim

i hope you would not mind if i cc this copy of your reply to most of my friends and some patients of mine.
you are an inspiring individual, gifted with great health and iman.
you are not born in islam like most of us.
allah gave your heart islam....mashaaallah!

you are a living example of excellent health... a 70 year norwegian of german parentage running around wild in cherating with azizah, a 'beautiful  lady with all hearts'. 
i hope your azizah take good care of her heart valve and does not not forget her daily warfarin....

a man of 70 with a heart and mind and body of a 30 year old!
omg!
you reminded me of the celebrated english author oscar wilde's dorian gray.
at least a muslim version..... running wild in our very own backyard in kuantan!

every time you come to see me in my clinic i have a surge of embarassment...you should be on my side of the table!

how is your zikrullah getting on?

ps:

tq akhim.
my back is ok now though i am quite limited with what i could now.
no more horseback riding, at least not the kind i used to do in my fifties!
i am now just limited to the two legged ones only , even then with a lot of help!

Assalamualaikum Dr. Nik, always nice to hear from you.

Thanks for the Dr. Janson Fung article (youtube) n fasting... 

I have used intermittent fasting, and even better, exercising in a fasted state, for years.

And you, dear dr. Nik, knows my heath status over the years, and still now at 70, I can do things that I did in my 30's - 40's, alhamdulillah

It goes far far beyond weight loss.  It is a hormones and or health changing tool par excellence.  How can it be otherwise, as it is part of Allah's (swt) limitless wisdom?  That's why also, Ramadan is a gift, both spiritually and bodily health.

I have a useful link regarding fasting and exercise, Ori Hofmekler.  He has written many books and articles about our bodies health options, not always (or rather, mostly not acknowledged by the medical establishment), unfortunately.

Regarding me, I am Norwegian, but my mother was from Germany.  Although she spoke only Norwegian at our home, I am learning the German language as part of keeping my brain in an active state, and also because there are so many good books and programs that are beneficial on manty fronts.

I do regularly watch two programs from NDR.DE (on my smartphone),  Nord Deutsche Radio, Die Bewegungs-docs and Die Ernährings-docs.  The first one use movements as healing therapy for many illnesses and sufferings etc., and the second, uses diet as therapy for healing illnesses and  sufferings.  In most cases, the results are very good, provided the participants are motivated and follow the instructions etc. given by these docs.

I like these programs because the docs here, goes beyond what is taught in medical schools in general.  Proper diet and movements, according to ones metabolic type and ability, when properly guided and executed, is, as always, one of Allah's (swt) gift to his creatures everywhere and at all times. 

Remember: Quran - A cure for all illnesses

Yeah dear Dr Nik, hope you are getting better with your back pains/problems... I pray for your good health and long healthy life, insyaAllah, for you and all of us.

Wassalam from Akhim (and Azizah, she is doing quite well, considering her valve replacement, age and all :).
