Besides this, how to eat during Ramadan has been a topic discussed for years. There are many different opinions, especially on how Sahur tables should be. We are now sharing with you the points on which nutritionists and dietitians have reached a consensus regarding this matter.
Attention Risky Groups
Fasting is not only a healthy act but also a form of worship obligated by the Islamic religion. However, people in the risk group must absolutely perform this worship by getting approval from their physicians... Especially cardiovascular patients, high blood pressure patients who need to use medication, diabetes patients, women during pregnancy, patients undergoing cancer treatment, dialysis patients, those with kidney failure problems, children, and the elderly are in the risk group.
In order for everyone who will spend a long time hungry and, more importantly, thirsty, not to experience problems in their daily life or risk their health, they must not neglect the indispensable part of Ramadan: the Sahur meal.
How Should Foods Consumed at Sahur Be?
- It is necessary to stay away from heavy foods that will make it difficult for you to fall asleep again. Because just like food, sleep is one of the absolute needs of our body to spend our daily life healthily.
- The foods we choose should consist of foods that provide a feeling of satiety and prevent us from getting hungry throughout the day.
- Avoiding excessively salty foods is also an important point. It should not be overlooked that this will increase both blood pressure problems and water needs in the body.
- Sufficient amount of liquid should be consumed during Sahur.
- It should consist of foods containing protein, carbohydrates, and fat.
- It should support vitamin and mineral intake in the body.
Ramadan Pita at Sahur?
Dietitians recommend consuming Ramadan pita, one of the classics of Ramadan, at Iftar rather than Sahur. On the other hand, nutritionists who recommend whole wheat and whole rye bread for the Sahur meal underline that breads produced from whole grain flours provide a feeling of satiety for a long time.
Do Not Skip Sahur
Emphasizing that the habit of eating little and often, as in the daily flow of life, should be maintained during Ramadan, dietitians underline that it is necessary to somehow meet the nutrients we cannot get throughout the day. One must absolutely wake up for Sahur, and enough liquid should be taken during Sahur. While foods containing excessive fat and salt should be avoided, it should not be forgotten that settling for drinking only water or sleeping immediately after eating is harmful.
For these reasons, milk and dairy products rich in protein should be consumed at the Sahur meal. Choosing soup, low-fat vegetable dishes, dishes with olive oil, or a breakfast menu prepared with light foods will be a correct and healthy choice.
