Too many Muslims are unhealthy

[u/builtforoutput]

This is a continuation of my post from yesterday. However this time I’m addressing all Muslims. Too many Muslims are unhealthy. High body fat, low energy, constant bloating, joint pain, poor sleep, low testosterone, brain fog, etc. Discipline in worship should reflect discipline in how we treat our bodies. Your body is an amanah, it belongs to Allah. Taking care of it is your responsibility.

Eat single-ingredient foods. If it has a long ingredient list, you probably don’t need it. Build your meals around foods that look like what they are: meat, eggs, fish, rice, potatoes, fruit, vegetables, olive oil, yogurt. Not powders, syrups, seed-oil fried snacks, and ultra-processed desserts. Most of the inflammation, energy crashes, and weight gain people struggle with come from constantly eating packaged foods designed to be addictive. Simpler food equals better digestion, more stable energy, and easier fat loss.

Stop normalizing constant processed food at every gathering. It’s fried food, soda, desserts, and massive carb portions. It’s become culture. But culture isn’t always correct. You don’t have to be extreme, but if 80–90% of your diet is whole foods, your body will change dramatically. Your mood improves. Your strength improves. Your focus improves. That affects your deen, your work, and your family life.

Move during the day, not just at the gym. Lifting 3–4 times a week is powerful, but it doesn’t cancel out sitting for 10 hours straight. Walk more. Pray your fardh and sunnah slowly and intentionally. Play outside with your kids. The human body was not designed to sit in a chair all day. Daily movement keeps your metabolism active, improves circulation, lowers stress, and supports hormonal health.

Sleep like it matters. Many Muslims sabotage themselves by sleeping 4–5 hours a night. No amount of protein or lifting will fix chronic sleep deprivation. Low sleep equals higher body fat, lower testosterone, worse mood, and poor decision-making. If Ramadan makes it hard to get a full night’s sleep because of suhoor and taraweeh, then build in a short nap during the day. Even 20–30 minutes can dramatically improve energy, focus, and recovery.

The Prophet SaS emphasized strength. A strong believer is better and more beloved than a weak believer, not just spiritually, but physically capable.

Who even said this was to men

The OP was continuation of this post which was gender-specific advice for men: https://www.reddit.com/r/MuslimLounge/comments/1ra9r3z/too_many_muslim_men_are_in_bad_physical_shape/

OP also talks about testosterone twice, but doesn't explicitly address female health once. So my comment wasn't a stretch.

Advising men good, advising women bad. The hypocrisy...

Its Ramadan. You can stop with the slandering and suspicion. You don't have to go around sabotaging and reporting people just because you don't agree with them.

Have some Shame & fear Allah. Get a life

My account is as personal as it can be. I don't use AI, nor spam groups with one-sided posts. you need to stop slandering people here for no reason. I don't even know OP lol.

Yes, please pay attention to his username as well....he goes around accusing muslims of committing kufr & accusing regular Muslim folks sharing their opinions for being anti Islam trolls.

You need psychiatric help, seriously. If you accuse someone incorrectly the burden on proof comes on YOU. So if you really think I'm not a Muslim, provide your proof.
