Some Ramadan Tips:

Skipping meals is bound to harm health and stamina, rather than improve them. So to realize the benefits of fasting, late midnight meals called Suhur (before the formal start of a fast) and the breaking of the fast should be at the time prescribed. Of course, to ensure good health one should not eat abruptly and in excess after breaking fast.

Avoid
• Limit unhealthy fatty and fried foods as they cause indigestion, heartburn, and weight problems.
• Also avoid those containing too much sugar.
• Do not overeat especially at Suhur
• Avoid too much tea as it is a diuretic and makes you loose mineral salts that your body needs during the day

Drink
As much water or fruit juices as possible between iftar and bedtime so that your body may adjust fluid levels in time.

Eat
• In view of the long hours of fasting, we should consume slow digesting foods including fiber containing-foods rather than fast-digesting foods;. Slow digesting foods last up to 8 hours, while fast-digesting foods last for only 3 to 4 hours.
• Slow-digesting foods are foods that contain grains and seeds like wheat, oats, beans, lentils, whole meal flour, unpolished rice, etc. (called complex carbohydrates).
• Fast-burning foods are foods that contain sugar, white flour, etc. (called refined carbohydrates).
• Fiber-containing foods are bran-containing foods, whole wheat, grains and seeds, vegetables and fruits.
• The foods eaten should be well balanced, containing foods from each food group; fruits, vegetables, meat/chicken/fish, bread/cereals and dairy products, focusing on fibers.
