What not to eat in Ramadan
"Hi and Assalamualaikum. Happy Ramadan! I hope you are eating well after fasting, and whatever you can stuff in your mouth. However, did you know there are some things that you have to avoid eating, or reduce eating, because they can give more disadvantages than advantages? While it is easy to lose against your cravings, here is a list to help you look out for yourself.
What foods to actually eat:
1. Dates.
it is a Sunnah to break your fast with dates, and that provides you with the treasure of benefits, like being rich in nutrients, high in antioxidants, and so much more.
2. Water.
Another choice to consider, if you don't have dates, or you should drink a lot after fasting, is water. It helps to rehydrate your body and boost your energy levels.
3. Full, proper meal
. Eat your meal properly. If you can't empty your plate all at once, then eat later. Your meals should have all the necessary carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats, etc.
Now that we have gone through what things to eat, now
what things you need to avoid or reduce:
1. High sugar foods and carbonated drinks.
I'm very sorry for all those who love to eat sugars, but it's what it is. Sugar, just after fasting, causes energy crashes.
2. Caffeine.
Can act as a diuretic, increasing urine production, and from my personal experience, can ruin your sleep schedule.
3. High sodium and fried foods.
High sodium can exacerbate dehydration, and fried foods cause the same problem of dehydration.
Overall, while it is tempting to fall for such cravings, it is better to reduce or maybe consume such things later, after the meal, or sometime after the meal. In the end, I wish you all a happy Ramadan. Bye."
