DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 28th day of Sha'abaan (Tuesday 21st April, 2020).
*_HEALTHY LIVING IN RAMADAN_*. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
When you fast, your energy mainly depends on the sugar glucose that you consume during your Suhour meal. But this meal can only provide energy for a few hours and then your body has to depend on its stored glucose (glycogen) and fats. And after fasting the whole day, it is the food you eat at Iftar that will provide your body cells with calories and nutrients to give you energy and vitality.
For longer lasting energy this year, it is important to pay attention to the quality of the food you eat at this predawn meal. It is considered essential, as it prevents hunger, tissue breakdown and offers better endurance ability during the long day.
Try to eat slowly digestible and absorbable foods which are rich in fibre such as complex carbohydrates (whole-wheat breads, rice, pasta, potatoes etc). These foods give you energy that can last for many hours unlike foods high in sugar which provide energy for only a short time and then lead to a drop in the blood sugar levels, leading to low energy. In addition, whole-wheat breads and cereals are rich in B vitamins which help release energy from the food you’ve eaten.
*_May ALLAH grant us the opportunity to be part of the blessed month_*. Aameen.
