Ramadan fasting offers health benefits, but poor eating habits can lead to weight gain and digestive issues. To maximize well-being, focus on a balanced diet and routine.
Control your calorie intake (1200-2000 calories/day) by choosing nutrient-rich foods and avoiding excess sugar and fats. Opt for healthy Iftar meals with fiber and protein, like grilled chicken, lentils, and dates, to regulate blood sugar and prevent overeating. For Suhoor, eat oats, yogurt, and dates to stay energized and hydrated.
Drink plenty of water (half your body weight in ounces) between Iftar and Suhoor to prevent dehydration. Engage in light exercise (15-25 minutes) after Iftar to stay active.
Prepare for Ramadan by reducing sugary, salty, and fried foods two weeks prior. Avoid carbonated drinks and increase water intake for a smoother transition.
Weight management during Ramadan is possible by controlling calories, eating healthy, and staying active. Overeating high-calorie meals is the primary cause of weight gain. Mindful choices enhance both physical and spiritual benefits.
