Sharp joins gun safety program to end gun violence
Sharp and other health care systems encourage people to “just ask” about unlocked gun access in other people’s homes to help curtail the damage done by guns.
Whether for medical, cultural or personal reasons, some people believe fasting — temporarily abstaining from food — can cleanse the body and mind, if done safely. As Muslims throughout the world celebrate Ramadan, a holy month of fasting, introspection and prayer, we asked Holly Moyer, registered dietitian with Sharp Rees-Stealy, to answer five common questions about fasting.
“Before deciding to pursue a temporary fast, talk with your dietitian or doctor about ways to ensure you stay hydrated and give your body what it needs,” Moyer says.
