The fasting in Ramadan causes many individuals to involuntarily eat fast at iftar after fasting all day long. However, experts underline that this is one of the biggest mistakes made. Saying that iftar should last at least 45 minutes, Prof. Dr. Gülbanu Canbaloğlu emphasizes that the signals of satiety do not go to the brain before 20 minutes.
Prof. Dr. Gülbanu Canbaloğlu stated that iftar should not be eaten fast, and that the signal of satiety is transmitted to the brain in an average of 20 minutes, and that the meal should not be finished before 45 minutes for a healthy iftar. Emphasizing that an adequate and balanced sahur is important for the day to be productive. "As the nighttime metabolic rate drops, the risk of weight gain increases."
Canbaloğlu stated that 2-2.5 liters of water, vitamin C, omega 3, probiotics, foods containing vitamin D and spices such as ginger and turmeric should be consumed in order to strengthen the immune system, and quickly ate iftar. He stated that eating fasting can cause blood pressure, sugar spikes and stomach ailments.
Canbaloğlu listed the "golden" rules to be considered in nutrition as follows: It is transmitted to the brain in minutes. For a healthy iftar, do not finish your meal before 45 minutes. Avoid heavy meals at sahur. Because the metabolic rate decreases at night, the risk of gaining weight increases. The most correct cooking methods in order not to disturb the stomach and to prevent calorie excess in Ramadan are grilling, baking, boiling Avoiding fried foods, pastries, foods containing excessive sugar and oil will protect you against indigestion, heartburn and weight problems that may occur at night.
