  • Fasting During Ramadan Aids In Quitting Smoking, Say Doctors

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: Smoking can have an adverse impact on health and smokers are at higher risk of developing lung cancer. But Ramadan is a hope for smokers to quit smoking as it can generate a will power among them, doctors said.

    Dr Fayaz Ahmad Bhat Assistant Professor Department of General Medicine at SKIMS Soura said that besides having enormous health benefits, fasting is the best opportunity for smokers to quit cigarette smoking.

    He said that diabetic patients, who wish to keep fast, must take special care as it is not advisable for them to take long food breaks and taking some frequent meals after certain durations helps in maintaining their blood glucose level smoothly.

    “Diabetic patients must check blood sugar levels frequently during fasting. If someone feels symptoms of hypoglycaemia, an instant blood sugar test should be done to prevent any untoward complication, he added.

    “Diabetic patients could have slow absorbing foods, which have low glycaemic index, before you begin the fast. These types of food keep your blood glucose level more stable and smooth during the course of the fast.” Dr Fayaz said.

    He said that diabetic patients must avoid long brisk walks while they are fasting to avoid hypoglycemia and dehydration, however they can go for a walk once they break their fast in the evening.

    He said that patients suffering from chronic diseases must consult their treating doctor before starting fasting as many decompensate heart liver and kidney disease patients have to take diuretic medicines leading to frequent urination which can lead to dehydration.

    He said that the general population who are on fasting must stay hydrated, take enough proteins, eat fibre rich diet, and eat foods containing essential micronutrients like iron, calcium and vitamin B12.

    Dr Irfan from GMC Srinagar said that Ramadan is the best opportunity for people to leave bad habits like smoking as fasting develops a sense of patience in the person.

    Ramadan is an opportunity to make significant changes in one’s lifestyle and develop the resolve to make healthy living choices, he said.

    “The diet should be simple and not differ too much from one’s normal everyday diet. It should contain foods from all the major food groups – like fruits and vegetables; bread, other cereals and potatoes; milk and meat; fish and dairy food alternatives; foods containing fat and foods containing sugar,” he added.

    Overeating can not only harm the body, but it also interferes with a person’s spiritual growth during the month, he said. (KNO)

  • Who do the aids help?

    M. Cecilio

    The support measures planned for ‘the working middle class’ have done so more with the higher classes

    At the present time in Spain we have two serious problems. I am referring to the economic sphere, that the political sphere is another song and, most likely, it is a song with a more convoluted score. On the foreign level, we have before us the opportunity, unique in history, to receive an ocean of money that has been used well and correctly.

    Housing finance company aids expatriates’ in owning a house in Saudi

    [ad_1]

    Jeddah: An expatriate’s dream of owning a house in Saudi Arabia is easier as some housing finance companies are offering to provide loans.

    BIDAYA Home Finance, one of Saudi Arabia’s leading non-bank providers of real estate financing products, has launched its latest innovative digital home financing product targeting residents in Saudi Arabia. The expatriates’ home financing is designed specifically to meet the demands of Saudi Arabia’s growing expatriates in the community. The unique digital financing solution offered by BIDAYA enables all eligible Saudi residents to own a home in three simple steps, said a statement released by Bidaya on Monday.

    The company’s increasing line of fully digital home and real estate finance services now includes BIDAYA Home Finance for Residents. Under the direct supervision of the Saudi Central Bank, BIDAYA provides distinctive solutions, such as Ready Unit and Off-plan Unit Financing, Residential Land Financing, and Buy and Lease Back, which answer particular preferences and wants. The business has introduced its first corporate services, including financing for the purchase of residential and commercial land, financing for the development or completion of real estate projects, and financing for buy-and-leaseback transactions, the statement reads.

    It said that due to the rich culture and abundant job prospects in Saudi Arabia, many of the Kingdom’s visitors already see the nation as their second home.

    More and more talent from around the world is lured to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as the country intensifies its efforts to achieve the lofty Vision 2030 goals. The Minister of Investment, HE Khalid Al-Falih, asserts that expatriates are a crucial component of Saudi Arabia’s development story and that as the country’s economy becomes more sophisticated and varied, both the quantity and quality of expatriates would likely improve, the statement noted.

    The entire product line is built on BIDAYA’s robust and cutting-edge digital platform, which speeds up the application and approval processes and has already made financing easier for thousands of KSA consumers of BIDAYA’s home financing products. In recognition of the company’s dedication to digital transformation, the Global Business Review Magazine named BIDAYA Home Finance “Saudi Arabia’s Best Islamic Digital Financing Company” for 2022, it said.

    BIDAYA can be contacted on 8001181111 or www.bidaya.com.sa

    Note that no expatriate can buy or lease property in the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah as it is restricted.

    Expatriates can avail the service by accessing “My Services” (Khidmaty) on the Absher platform, then entering “Services” (Khidmat), then “General Services” (Al-Khidmatul Aamma), and from there to “Application for owning real estate for non-Saudis”.

    The platform explained with the support of infographics that the service enables residents to apply for a permit to own a property within the Kingdom, enumerating the following three conditions.

    — The foreigner should have a valid and unexpired residency ID (Muqeem).

    — The resident must provide all information about the property along with a copy of the title deed.

    — He or she should not have another property in the Kingdom.
