It
was finally clarified that the type of food affects the emotional
status of the human being and some processed types may cause diseases. …

In
the modern era, the scientists start to invent new techniques of food
processing, and the food styles the people follow had changed. The
scientists had not realized that such new styles would harm people as
the percentage of physical and psychological diseases had increased
because of processed foods.
But
if we revert to the Holy Quran, we will find the divine order for
people to eat the lawful foods which Allah, the Almighty Had created for
them. He says: "O you who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism)! Eat of the lawful things that we have provided you with, and be grateful to Allâh, if it is indeed He Whom you worship" (172: Al Baqara).
Therefore, the scientists confirm that the best type of food is what we
find ready in the nature before the human hand poison it!
A
study, conducted by a research team at College London, had concluded
the possibility of having relationship between depression and
consumption of processed foods as people who consume larger amounts of
vegetables, fruits and fish are less exposed to depression.
The
team who conducted the research says that this is the first time the
relationship between depression and diet is being watched in Britain.
The data of the diet of 3500 persons at the middle age were studied and
then compared with the cases of depression after five years as
published in the British Journal of Psychiatry. The people participated
in the study were classified into two groups: first group's diet depends
on vegetables, fruits and fish, and the second group's diet depends on
processed and fatty foods.
Do
not eat processed and junk foods! This is the newest advice given to
you by the Nutritionists. Studies verified that canned meat products and
foods containing preservatives and ready to eat meals (like Hamburgers,
etc) have harmful effects on the person's emotional status, so if you
want to enjoy emotional stability and quietness, have physical health
and live longer you have to stay away from these foods.
It
was verified through this study that the percentage of depression in
people who had larger amounts of natural foods is 26% less than people
who had processed foods like Mortadella,
Hamburgers and Junk foods, on the other hand, the percentage of
depression among people consuming larger amounts of processed foods is
58% higher than people who consumed less amounts of these foods.
The
scientists says that there is a research which concluded that people
following the Mediterranean diet are less exposed to depression, also
there are many researches that connect between the type of diet and the
diseases of the humans.
A message to the Muslim Doctors...
Dear
beloved in Allah! The non-Muslim scientists do not have a solid base to
refer to in their experiments, therefore, you find that theories change
and develop from time to time. But what distinguish us as Muslims is
that we have a Holy Book which has clarification for everything and
Allah, the Almighty, had explained to us many things that are connected
to our physical and emotional health.
Many
scientific studies had confirmed that the best types of foods are the
foods that Allah Had created in this nature, especially fruits, cereals
and meat, the scientists say that the person who concentrate on fruits
in his diet is more capable of handling emotional stress and more calm,
therefore some researchers suggest larger intake of fruits as a remedy
for stress management! So, we have to thank Allah for His great
blessings as He said: "And the earth: He has put down (laid) for the creatures* Therein are fruits and date-palms producing sheathed fruit-stalks (enclosing dates)* And also corn, with (its) leaves and stalk for fodder, and sweet-scented plants* Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny?" (10-13 Al Rahman).
I
would like to suggest to the Muslim scientists, why don't you do such
experiments to prove to the whole world the truth of this great
religion:
1. Prove
that the one who depends on the Islamic diet is healthier than others.
This means to do experiments on Muslim people who do not eat pork and
eat meat slaughtered by the Islamic way and on the other side do the
same experiments on non Muslims who do not apply these rules.
2. Prove
that the person who eat more dates, honey and olive oil, which are the
main foods, mentioned in the Quran, is healthier than the average person
who does not apply this food system. And that this food affects the
emotional status making the person more stable.
3. Prove
that the one who eats with his right hand and have Allah's name
mentioned on the food will be healthier than the one who do not mention
Allah's name or eat with his right hand.
As
a Muslim, I believe that the foods mentioned in the Quran: olive, fig,
dates, grapes, pomegranate, honey… all ensure you much emotional
stability and make your immune system more resistant to diseases,
especially Heart and cancer diseases. And the Quran emphasizes the
importance of eating natural foods, therefore He, the Almighty says: "So
eat of the lawful and good food which Allâh has provided for you. And
be grateful for the Favour of Allâh, if it is He Whom you worship" (114:
Al Nahl).
These
are simple and available experiments but need some patience and
specialty, and in deed, dear beloved brothers, that if we had a research
center, we would hurry in applying thousands of Islamic experiments
which are ignored by the western scientists, all of which are developed
from Quran and Sunnah. We hope that such experiments will be a tool for
showing the greatness of Islam religion, also showing the miracles of
the Quran.
We
ask Allah, the Almighty, to subject, to perform such work, those whom
He loves and approves, He is the capable of responding to us, as He
says: "We will show them Our Signs in the
universe, and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them
that this (the Qur’ân) is the truth. Is it not sufficient in regard to
your Lord that He is a Witness over all things? (53-54: Fussilat).
