Just a few hours before the first sahur table was set, everyone was worried about 'How Should I Eat During Ramadan?' There is a lot of information about Ramadan diet both on social media and in newspapers and magazines. The list of suggestions goes on and on. There are even posts that suggest sample Ramadan nutrition plans, ignoring individual characteristics such as age, gender, height, weight, genetic structure.
So, in all this sea of information, how do people who want to spend the month of Ramadan by fasting in a healthy way? Should we follow a path?
Of course, during Ramadan;
-
Water consumption should be sufficient and should be consumed over time between iftar and sahur.
-
Since the fasting period is long in May, sahur must be made.
-
Adequate protein should be taken at sahur and iftar, and vegetables and fruits should be given enough space on Ramadan tables.
-
Fizzy and sugary drinks should not be consumed as they are unhealthy and will prevent adequate water consumption.
-
Exercise should not be neglected.
But listing the same recommendations for everyone, except for a few basic points, is contrary to the principle that NUTRITION IS SPECIFIC TO THE PERSON. The sufficient quantity and whether or not to have a snack in the Ramadan recommendations I mentioned should be specific to you.
If a fasting person sleeps at 23.00 at night because he has to wake up early in the morning, how can he be recommended to have a snack after having his iftar at 20.23? Or, using this person as a reference, would it be a correct recommendation for all other fasting people to say that one should not have snacks during Ramadan?
Do not follow someone else's diet, just as you do not use someone else's medicine.
