BEST DIET FOR RAMADAN

Make healthy choices after breaking your fast and see the benefits.

During the Holy month of Ramadan, healthy adult Muslims practice daily fasting from dawn until sunset. Traditionally, one breaks the fast at sunset with a meal called Iftar and then eats again pre-dawn at Suhoor. There is evidence to suggest that fasting can have positive effects on your health.

By following simple guidelines, it may help you lose weight and decrease blood pressure and cholesterol. Alternatively, over-indulging at Iftar and Suhoor can cause weight gain. The Holy month is often seen as a time to practice self-control, self-discipline, sacrifice and empathy for those less fortunate. It is encouraged to try to maintain these practices even outside of fasting hours.
