The holy month of Ramadan has arrived, and if you are looking for a delicious way to break your fast, look no further! We are all looking forward to a delicious Iftar dinner!
To commemorate this important month, it is customary to focus on offering too much food. Housewives spend hours in the kitchen cooking delicious food for family and friends.
Because the spiritual aspect of Ramadan is emphasized more than the health aspect, it is not always considered a time to lose weight. However, this is a great opportunity to get physical rewards.
Prolonged fasting breaks down muscle proteins to release energy, which is very harmful to the body.
So all you have to do is prepare a nutritious meal for Iftar and a meal prepared with freshly cooked ingredients in a healthy way. It will nurture you while also showing your family and friends how good food is.
So, think about these choices when you start planning your Iftar evening. To ensure a varied and balanced diet throughout Ramadan, make an extra effort to include items from all five food groups.
Iftar food is the food that breaks the fast of the day. This food may include dates, which will provide a welcome boost in energy. Include high-protein foods in your diet, such as egg whites, lentils, and low-fat dairy products. Complex carbohydrates such as wholemeal bread, brown rice, and whole grain noodles provide the body with energy, fiber, and minerals. In each of your two meals, make sure to include 1 serving of fruits and 1 serving of vegetables.

When it comes to breaking the fast, here are some common mistakes that can have a detrimental effect on your health and weight loss.
1. Drinking a lot of water during Iftar.
Filling the stomach with water is more difficult than filling it with food.
Solution: You can take a few sips during Iftar. Then, every two hours, a glass of water.
2. Constant drinking
It contains a lot of sugars, preservatives and food coloring, which has a negative effect.
Solution: Drink twice a week if needed.
3. Chewing food and swallowing quickly
Effect: Promotes unhealthy weight and delays digestion.
Solution: Chewing food slowly will help you digest your food faster and stay within a healthy weight range.
4. Consume high sodium foods
Sodium makes you thirsty throughout the day, even when you are fasting.Solution: Eat foods rich in potassium to help retain water and quench your thirst. Bananas can be eaten during Sehri to quench the thirst of the day. Other foods that can be eaten in small amounts include milk, dates, avocados, pistachios, dried peaches, pumpkins, peas and dark chocolate.
5. Use sweets immediately after Iftar
Effect: You will feel drowsy and sleepy.Solution: If you want to stay fresh and awake for Isha prayers, wait two hours after eating Iftar food.
6. Exercise immediately after breaking the fast
Because blood is concentrated near the stomach during Iftar, it has a negative effect on blood flow.
Solution: Exercise two hours after meals to help digestion.
1. Avoid the following cooking methods:
Fry in a deep potExcessive dependence on oil
2. Cooking techniques that are healthy:
Frying at low temperature
Steam, grill or baking is healthy and helps maintain the taste and flavor of food.
