The importance of healthy nutrition on body resistance and health is stated at every opportunity. For this reason, ‘How to feed in Ramadan?’ The question is one of the most frequently searched topics. Nutrition and Diet Specialist Nuray Altınkum said that it is possible to spend a healthy and much more comfortable Ramadan with simple measures that can be taken and gave information on the issues that need attention.
FASTING BEFORE FAITH CAN CAUSE BIG PROBLEMS
Many wrongs that are known to be true about nutrition among the public affect health negatively. Especially in Ramadan, the changing diet with the decrease in the number of meals creates many risk factors if not taken care of. Stating that while consuming plenty of water along with a balanced diet is vital, fasting before sahur can cause great problems, Altınkum said that this month can be called a period of physical and spiritual purification.
STAY AWAY FROM PASTRY AND FATTY FOOD IN SAHUR
Stating that he definitely recommends having sahur in Ramadan, Altınkum said, “In sahur, instead of more pastries and fried products, we should consume products such as milk, yogurt, eggs, almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, which will keep you full for a long time, as well as whole-grain bread as bread. I recommend the consumption of the products.
I SWEET JUICE IN IFTAR
We recommend that you sip a glass of water while breaking your fast at iftar. Afterwards, we recommend that you drink a ladle of soup and take a 15-minute break. The reason for this is to prevent stomach fullness, bloating and indigestion problems. In the iftar, we pay attention to chew our food in small bites and thoroughly while passing to the main meal. We recommend that our main dishes be more vegetable dishes and meat dishes rather than fried pastries. We recommend that you pay attention to boiling, grilling, and oven while cooking them,” he said.
“CONSUMPT WATER BETWEEN IFTAR AND SAHUR”
Altınkum said, “We recommend that you include salad at every iftar table in order to ensure that the intestinal system works well, keeps us full and prevents our blood sugar from rising rapidly. At the same time, water consumption is very low in Ramadan, which causes the digestive system to work slowly and cause some problems. Ramadan Although it varies from person to person, we recommend consuming 2 to 2.5 liters of water between iftar and sahur in the month of Ramadan. At the same time, if there is no problem such as blood pressure, stomach discomfort, we recommend drinking a bottle of mineral water. In order to prevent digestive problems, we recommend walking for half an hour 1.5 hours after iftar.
