For sustainable energy levels throughout the day of fasting, there is a need for balanced meals at Iftar and Sehri. Eat healthy proteins and fats, plenty of vegetables, whole grains and fruit.
I will help you achieve this goal by sharing many recipes with you through FUCHSIA Healthy Ramazan Program.
A few tips to bear in mind for Sehri. There is often the temptation to sleep in and skip Sehri, but don’t do this, as it is important to eat well sustain oneself through the day.
Eat foods that do not cause blood sugar surges and are both energising and hydrating.
Some good foods to have at Sehri are:

Depending on which part of the world you are residing in, you might break your fast with a date and light snack, followed by dinner a few hours later.
Some common foods that should be avoided at Iftari are:
However, if you live further up in the North of the world, you might be breaking your fast only after 9pm, and may prefer dinner as part of Iftari.

Some Useful Tips for a healthier ‘you’ this Ramazan:
Eat Mindfully: Chew your food slowly, and enjoy the meal. As you haven’t eaten all day, it is easy to over-eat as you are hungry and end up eating faster. Mindful eating also helps you keep to the spirit of Ramazan – appreciating the food and blessings of God.
Avoid sleeping straight after your meal: Food needs time to digest, and falling asleep straight after your meal can result in acidity and a feeling of bloated-ness.
Get some exercise: It is difficult to do strenuous exercise during Ramazan, however do make time to go for a quick, brisk walk daily after Iftari or Sehri, and get some fresh air.
Keep hydrated: Always drink plenty of water between Iftari and bedtime, as you need to be well hydrated during the day when you are fasting.
Feel good throughout the month of Fasting!
