PERCIKAN :

Shalat dapat mencegah kepikunan, karena gerakannya meningkatkan brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Yakni sejenis protein yang berfungsi menguatkan neuron. Otak yang mengandung banyak BDNF mampu menampung lebih banyak informasi. Bila shalat dilakukan dengan terburu-buru maka akan memperberat kerja jantung dan paru-paru. Karena itu, lakukanlah sahalat dengan tenang. Peregangan otot perut saat sujud dan rukuk memperlancar sistem pencernaan karena organ pencernaan dalam perut mengalami pemijatan dan pelonggaran secara bergantian.
