Department of Gastroenterology 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 to strengthen the immune system. He reported that eating iftar in a way can cause blood pressure, sugar spikes and stomach ailments.
"Iftar should not be eaten fast. The signal of satiety is transmitted to the brain in an average of 20 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 and steaming. Especially from frying, pastries, excessive sugar and oil. "Staying away from foods will protect you against indigestion, heartburn and weight problems that may occur at night. We should make it a habit to add a snack between iftar and sahur, as filling an empty stomach suddenly causes blood pressure and sugar fluctuations, as well as stomach and intestinal disorders."
