Stress is a biological response induced by an internal or external factor1, it causes the body to react to the demands made upon it; therefore, it often facilitates us to do what is required of us for example, helping us to complete daily tasks or motivate us to work towards our ambitions. Stress is universal– everyone feels stress at times. 

Ramadan begins in late March this year and Muslim communities in Britain will soon be making plans to prepare for the month of fasting. Ramadan brings a huge opportunity to revisit our routines and think about our health, as well as the wellbeing of those around us.
