Healthy eating during fasting month is important to prevent health problems during fasting such as constipation, indigestion, flatulence, heartburn and hypoglycemia. Hence, eat in moderation and ensure a balanced diet..
1. EGG
Packed with high quality protein, vitamin B2 and essential minerals such as zinc, iron and copper; eggs are perfect to kick start the fasting season. Whether you like your eggs scrambled, baked, hard boiled or the classic sunny side-up, the versatility of cooking eggs means you can bring something new to the table each day.
2. DATES
According to Islamic traditions, the fast generally ends by biting on a succulent date. Dates are high in natural sugars like glucose, fructose and sucrose which in turn will prevent you from feeling lethargic and keep blood sugar levels in check.
3. GREEK YOGURT
While it is advisable to avoid whole milk and fatty dairy products during Ramadan, you can get your intake of calcium and nutrients by including some Greek yogurt in your meal plans. You can add some berries, seeds and nuts to your serving of Greek yogurt or use it to make some healthy fruit smoothies.
4. DARK CHOCOLATE
Give your sahur a sweet ending by indulging in some delectable dark chocolate. Dark chocolate contains flavanols that are known to improve blood flow and lower blood pressure.
