Happy Ramadan to all thsoe who are doing it. It’s Dr Houda here, so of course I’m going to talk about how to do it healthily! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u262a\ufe0f Plan your meals: You have 2 meals \ud83c\udf7d Iftar and Suhour\/Sahari: Make them both healthy and balanced. Don\u2019t overeat at Iftar and skip or not wake up for Suhoor. Also not planning suhoor and waking up too early for it, half a sleep \ud83d\ude34 might mean you will grab whatever naughty foods you find quickly. People who bought Baklava and are making Kunafe, and buying Zalabia and Turkish delights every day, I\u2019m looking at you \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u262a\ufe0f Think of it as an intermittent fasting healthy diet not a month of indulgence: What would you do in intermittent fasting? Limit eating to a certain number of hours say all meals within 8-10 hours. During the eating window, you don\u2019t indulge in desserts \ud83c\udf6e right? You eat healthy foods that release calories slowly. Post on these foods coming soon! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u262a\ufe0f Stay hydrated: 8 glasses of water \ud83d\udca6 a day <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u262a\ufe0f If you have a medical condition, consult your doctor for planning if and how you could fast. Especially, in case of Diabetes or any conditions that affect metabolism or require taking regular meds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u262a\ufe0f Don\u2019t forget Mental Health! Ramadan is a month of spiritual growth and increasing compassion and empathy for others who might not always have the means to eat well. It\u2019s hence also an opportunity for gratitude \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffc to what we have available. Whilst your body isn\u2019t occupied by digestion, utilise it to access your \u201cEmotional Body\u201d and practise gratitude, compassion, empathy with the self and others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happy \ud83d\ude03 fasting! Any questions \ud83d\ude4b\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2642\ufe0f in the comments please \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffc<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
