Stage 3
By the third stage, energy levels with have increased, your mind is able to concentrate better and an overall feeling of wellness overtakes you. During fasting the body’s healing process becomes a lot more efficient and so the body repairs any damaged cells during this stage.

During this stage the colon, liver, kidney lungs and skin are detoxing by eliminating toxins.

Stage 4
During the last 10 days of fasting in Ramadan, the body has become accustomed to the fasting process. Your body becomes more energetic and you experience improved memory and concentration.
