There are only a few days left for Ramadan, which we look forward to every year. As the period of fasting was so long and the hot weather made itself felt, everyone was worried about whether they could survive. What do you say, let's have a pleasant Ramadan with alternatives that will keep us full, not lose our energy and not make us thirsty during the fasting period?
Which Foods Should We Prefer for Sahur?
-
First of all, make it a habit to make sahur. At first, you may observe that you can fast without getting up for sahur. However, as time progresses, your energy will decrease even more and you may come to a point where it will be difficult and affect your health.
-
Drink 2 glasses of water before you start eating at sahur.
-
Benefit from all food groups at sahur.
-
Choose Ramadan pita for iftar. Choose whole wheat or whole rye bread for sahur.
-
Eating breakfast will be both a light and satisfying alternative.
-
Salt. Be careful to consume foods with high content such as cheese and olives by soaking them in water.
-
Be careful not to consume tea or coffee during sahur due to its diuretic effect.
-
If you are going to bed immediately after eating, put your pillow in a slightly upright position. It is very important for people with reflux or gastritis not to drink too much fluid. When going directly to the sleeping position, stomach contents may come into the mouth and trigger the person's discomfort.
