Sehri Do’s And Don’ts

Sehri Do’s And Don’ts: The month of Ramazan is a treat for everybody. People fast, try to be as nice to each other as their empty stomachs allow them to be, and then at iftar, go all crazy over delicious food.

The holy month of Ramazan is upon us and so is hot weather. In fact, this year, we will be fasting through the hottest time of the whole year!

Therefore, it is vital for all those fasting to look after themselves, maintain energy levels and keeps away from unhealthy indulgences. A clinical dietician, has explained, “In Ramazan, our diets are radically altered as we eat only during sehri and iftaar. The food we eat during these times should be well-balanced and contain items from each food group, such as vegetables, cereals, meat, dairy products and fruits.”

‘Sehri’

The pre-dawn meal or sehri is the most important meal during Ramazan since that is what one’s body thrives on all day.

Do’s

Eat protein-rich food such as eggs since they are the most nutritious. These will help you stay full and can be made in different ways to suit your taste buds.
Oatmeal is rich in fibre and another perfect meal for sehri. Its soluble fibres digest slow and keeps your cholesterol and blood glucose levels low. This, in turns, helps you stay energised throughout the fasting period.
Dairy products also hold great nutritional value. Opt for a yogurt smoothie or a milkshake to keep yourself hydrated and full during the day.

Don’ts

Avoid foods with sugar and white flour. These include pastries, donuts and croissants. They are low in essential nutrients and only lasts about three to four hours.
An imbalance of sodium levels in the body can make you feel thirsty. Therefore, keep away from salted items such as nuts, chips and pickles.
