The biggest problem of most people who fast is not being able to digest the food they eat. Since there is no food consumption for a long time, the digestive system is in a state of rest. Unknowingly taking too many portions at iftar time makes the night difficult.
Eat your meal slowly!
Slow down to feel the feeling of hunger and fullness rather than digestive problems. Eating is very important. People who eat slowly consume food by being aware of every bite they eat and know the point at which they should stop while eating. In this way, it does not put a sudden load on the resting digestive system.
Pay attention to the portion size!
5 minutes before iftar time, we feel strong enough to eat everything on the table. You must have witnessed the sentence "I was full so quickly" after 2 ladles of slow-drinking soup. However, portion portions are always missed in people who consume their food quickly. While one plate of main course will be enough for a person, he/she also opts for a second plate. If you are someone who cannot make a habit of eating slowly and exaggerates the quantities, always put your food in small amounts on your plate and choose small plates for meals.
Wait 1-2 hours for dessert!
Eating dessert immediately after a meal will cause your blood sugar to increase even more. If you consume sherbet and heavy desserts, you will experience serious digestive problems. Choose your dessert approximately 1.5-2 hours after breaking your fast. Let seasonal fruits, milk desserts and ice cream be your priority. If you prefer Güllaç, try to consume it with fresh fruit and walnuts/pistachios without exceeding 1 slice.
Do not go to sleep by consuming excessive liquid!
Plenty of water after iftar. There is sudden consumption of liquids such as tea and coffee. Consume tea and coffee, not exceeding 3 cups in total, and water at regular intervals. Choose fennel as your tea choice. Thus, you provide support to your digestive system. Do not get into a sleeping position by drinking too much water before going to sleep. Try to sleep with your head elevated so that your stomach contents do not come into your mouth.
Pay attention to movement.
Whenever you feel well, take light daily walks. Some people walk before iftar He enjoys doing it and states that the open air is good for him. On the contrary, some people prefer to exercise later. Let yourself be your criterion when moving. At this point, the only thing you should pay attention to is not to exercise right after eating. If you do your favorite activity after about 1.5-2 hours, you will feel much better.
