Five tips for eating healthy during Ramadan.
Digesting foods especially at the Suhur, the breakfast before dawn. Examples of slow-digesting food are grains and seeds like barley, wheat, oats, millet, semolina, beans, lentils and unpolished rice.
Examples of foods that contain fiber are bran, whole wheat, grains and seeds. Most vegetables are a good source of fiber, such as green beans, peas, cabbage, zucchini and spinach. Most fruits are excellent sources of fiber including dried unsweetened fruits.
Fried and fatty foods contain a lot of fat and can cause indigestion and heartburn. They are also high in calories and can cause weight gain.
Drink a lot of water at Suhur, the breakfast before dawn, as well as between the Iftar dinner and bedtime so that your body can adjust fluid levels over time.
Avoid caffeine at Suhur, the breakfast before dawn. Coffee is a diuretic and makes you pass urine. This will make you lose water from your body as well as mineral salts that are needed as you fast during the day.
