One of the important things to maintain health during the blessed month of Ramadan is to prevent various diseases as well as maintain weight. In order for this to be achieved, a healthy diet must be followed, which needs to pay attention to the types of food that are offered at the Iftar and Suhoor meals.
Through the following, we learn together the best healthy diet in Ramadan.
A full breakfast meal, according to the following:
First: you must make sure to eat a breakfast that is complete with the necessary nutrients. And eating fluids that help prevent dehydration due to lack of fluids during the day in Ramadan.
Second: Avoid eating foods and drinks that contain added sugars that affect the digestive system and cause it to suffer.
Third: It is important that breakfast contains fluids such as water, milk or natural juices that help hydrate the body without obtaining additional calories.
Fourth: Dates and dried fruits can be started, as they provide the body with natural fibres, vitamins and natural sugars that the body needs after a long day’s fast.
Fifth: Soup is one of the best foods to start with breakfast, as soup provides the fluids the body needs.
After breakfast.. a lot of fluids
After eating breakfast, about an hour to two hours, you should increase the intake of fluids that are beneficial for the body, such as water, drinks and natural juices, in order to compensate for the amount of water lost by the body during the day, which can cause dehydration.
Care must also be taken to stay away from caffeinated drinks, which have a role in dehydration.
Snack between breakfast and suhoor
It is preferable to have a snack between breakfast and suhoor, which is fruits or nuts that contain nutrients necessary for the body to help carry out its vital functions.
Suhoor meal rich in nutrients
In order to have the best diet for Ramadan, it is important to make sure to eat a complete Suhoor meal that contains all foods that are rich in the necessary nutrients that increase the body’s energy during fasting, and for this it is important that the Suhoor meal contains the following:
- Whole grains such as bread, brown rice and oatmeal, which help to feel full for long periods.
- Vegetables and fruits such as cucumber, apple, melon and lettuce.
- Proteins such as eggs, milk, nuts and yogurt.
- The healthy fats that are found in olives.
For diabetics, they should start their breakfast by eating foods rich in simple carbohydrates that can be quickly absorbed by the body, such as one or two dates or drinking milk.
This can be followed by eating low-sugar complex carbohydrates such as mash, brown rice, whole-grain bread and vegetables, and eating a moderate amount of protein.
