What to Eat and What to Avoid During the Month of Ramadhan

During Ramadan, millions of Muslims around the world focus on inner reflection and fast from dusk until dawn. The ongoing circumstances continue to change our lives in many different ways, especially during occasions and festivities. As a result of restricted movement, Muslims will observe the Holy Month from the comfort of their homes. If you fast during Ramadan, not only do you change your eating and sleeping patterns, but your body’s biological clock also undergoes a series of changes both physically and mentally. Dehydrated and hungry due to fasting, your body slows down your metabolism in order to use energy as efficiently as possible.

Understanding Your Nutritional Needs During Ramadan, to meet the amount of energy and nutrients your body needs during the day, you ...
