Many people tend to eat fatty foods on an empty stomach RAMADAN monthwhich may lead to a feeling of lethargy and fatigue, which often accompanies this feeling of bloating, to try to help achieve some balance in our diet during the month of Ramadan, here are some healthy eating tips to consider, according to what was published by the “iamherbalifenutrition” website.
1- Eating healthy meals during Ramadan is essential. For iftar, make sure you eat plenty of vegetables and salad with your main meal. By ensuring that at least half of your plate is filled with healthy nutrients, you will get the energy and vitamins you need. Remember to eat vegetables. Firstly.
2-Avoid soft drinks because they will dehydrate you very quickly and do not contain any valuable nutrients.
3- Making grilled chicken and baked potatoes is much healthier than choosing fried samosas and potato chips, just think regarding how you feel following all that fat.
4- If you are a dessert lover, fresh fruit and ice cream are a lighter alternative to chocolate or pastries.
5- It is customary to open the fast with dates and a glass of water or milk. Dates contain many nutrients and health benefits including lowering blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart disease and colon cancer, and relieving constipation.
6- Due to the slow release of energy in dates, it is recommended to include this in the Suhoor meal as well. The ideal Suhoor meal consists of oats or porridge and some dates..
7- Avoid caffeine during suhoor. Caffeine makes you urinate more frequently, which means you dehydrate faster. Instead, choose a drink that contains milk if you need something warm, or opt for water for something more refreshing and hydrating..
8- Limit your salt consumption while cooking during Ramadan. Eating too much sodium can lead to bloating, which can make you feel uncomfortable..
9- For breakfast, keep some natural yogurt on the table, it’s great for aiding digestion.
