Explanation:
The rules of Islam do not govern just the spiritual development of its followers, but also provide a guideline for their daily routines. Many of these tips have been scientifically proven to be highly beneficial for you.
Here are a list of 10 rules from Islamic teachings that can greatly benefit your health:
1. Refraining from consuming alcohol

The prohibition on alcohol is probably one of Islam's most well-known dietary restrictions, with valid reason. According to health website WebMD.com, not only does alcohol cause cirrhosis of the liver and reduce concentration resulting in accidents, it can also contribute to conditions such as anemia, cancer, cardiovascular disease and even Alzheimer's.
2. Refraining from eating pork

This is another one of Islam's dietary restrictions that would be well known to many. Despite being one of the most consumed meats worldwide, pork introduces various viruses and bacteria in the body, according to healthy living website Livestrong.com. This in turn can contribute to vomiting, fever, diarrhea, abdominal cramps and dehydration, all of which can prove fatal in extreme cases.
3. Practicing moderation in diet

Islam emphasises moderation - not too much and not too little - in every aspect of life. The second half of verse 31 of Surah Al-A'raf states, "Eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess." A hadith in Tirmizi further advises Muslims to leave "one third of the belly with food, another third with drink and leave one third empty for easy breathing."
When it comes to our diet, it has been scientifically proven that eating too much can contribute to weight gain and obesity, and all the health concerns stemming from it. Similarly, eating too little can result in your body not receiving the nutrients it needs for proper development and survival.
4. Using toothpicks after every meal

Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) encouraged his followers to use a tooth pick because "siwaak (toothpick) cleanses the mouth and pleases the Lord after every meal." (Sahih al-Bukhari) It cleans out food-buildup in your teeth, preventing decay and reducing the risk of cavities and tooth and gum infections.
5. Washing hands before & after meals

The Prophet (pbuh) has strongly advised that one should wash his hands before and after a meal. “It is a blessing to wash your hands before and after meal.” (Abu Daud & Tirmizi)
In the same vein, islam.ru states that Prophet (pbuh) has strongly advised not to clean hands with a towel before a meal because it may transmit infections from one person to another.
6. Emphasis on personal hygiene

Islamic teachings lay great emphasis on keeping one's clothes and self clean. Tirmizi, Adab, 41 exhorts, “Certainly, Allah is clean and He likes cleanness.” It is highly advised to clean rubbish, take daily showers and not leave bodily waste out in the open. As the various European plagues of the Middle Ages have shown, not observing these precautions can lead to infestations of insect-spreading rodents.
7. Keeping the lid on utensils

Stressing on proper care of kitchen utensils, Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said, “Cover up the utensils and tie the mouth of the water skins.” (Bukhari, Muslim) This prevents contamination from passing insects and lizards and in houses with open kitchens keeps stray animals away from the food.
8. Male circumcision
Islam makes it compulsory for all Muslim males to be circumcised. According to WebMD.com, male circumcision reduces the risk of urinary tract infections, reduces the risk of sexually transmitted diseases in men, protects against penile cancer, and reduces the risk of cervical cancer in wives.
9. Washing after urination and defecation

In contrast with Western practice, Islamic teachings require followers to wash genitals with water after urination and defecation. This method aids in complete removal of waste matter and associated bacteria, reducing risks of infection.
10. Refraining from consuming blood in any form

Strangely enough, blood that keeps you alive when it flows in your veins can prove toxic if it enters your digestive system, and this is why the zabiha method of slaughter requires blood to be drained from livestock before it is eaten. Blood is rich in iron, which the human digestive system is not designed to handle in large quantities. An iron overdose can cause liver damage, buildup of fluid in the lungs, dehydration, low blood pressure, and nervous disorders.
