Well, Islam gave the concept of 3 days fasting every month 1500 years ago and called "Ayyam Beez" and many Muslims have been practising it in every generation.

Glad to know that science also discovered it.
- misev 10y agoInteresting, why isn't it as popular as Ramadan? I could barely find anything about it online.
- pknerd 10y agoRamadan's fasting are compulsory while this and many others are not.
- SinomaSo 10y agoIt's not popular as Ramadan because it's not a must. Its called "ayaam albeed" which translates to "white days". It's called that because the moon is full on those three Days (13, 14 and 15th of each moon calendar month). The fast is from dawn to sunset and you are not allowed to drink water during that period.

- sosuke 10y agoScientific study proves (and sometimes doesn't) thing we take as common sense. Recently there was a study that dogs understood us more than was previously thought. Which wasn't a shocker but you have a camp of folks saying dogs understand nothing and another camp that continuously speak to their dogs. The scientific study just adds empirical proof.

- pknerd 10y agoSo is science.
