Muslims: What sort of foods do you eat when breaking your fast during Ramadan? :-)?

But a balanced diet is critical to maintain good health, sustain an active lifestyle and attain the full benefits of Ramadan," they add, warning not to overlook the diet factor. "Fasting is good for one's health because it has spiritual, physical, psychological, and social benefits. However, man-made problems may occur if fasting is not properly practiced," says Priya Rao, Dietician, Al Rafa Poly Clinic.

She advises that the diet during Ramadan should not differ from the normal one. "There is no need to consume excess food at iftar or suhur," she says. Says Saijitha Sunil, Nutritionist/Dietician at the Emirates Diagnostic Clinic, "The globally recognised golden rule of dietary guidelines is that one should eat a variety of food using principles of moderation and balance.

Usually, most health problems at this time are likely to arise from inappropriate diet or as a consequence of over-eating and insufficient sleep." "Fasting also improves blood cholesterol profile, reduces gastric acidity, prevents constipation and other digestive problems," adds Saijitha. Hope this helps?

Following food are my recommendation to be eaten in Sahoor and Iftar during Ramadhan and eating in daily eating all year around for good health: Dates, figs, bananas are most nutritious fruits to eat with multi grain bread with cream chease, eggs, chicken meat and vegetables. All the above foods have lot of fiber. Drink plenty of water and never coke.

All Fibers in above food hold lot of water in them to last all day and we do not feel so hungry. Fiber in foods also keep our antis-tines clean and free from buildup. Fiber works like brush removing fatty stuffs sitting in antis tines and keeps entire digestion system clean and healthy.

Do not eat less in Sahoor thinking it a break fast only. Prophet Mohammad SAW recommend that one should eat his full meal in the morning, eat less in lunch and lowest amount of food in super. He also said keep 1/3rd of stomach empty even when you eat full morning meal.

Food can move around to be digested easily and one never gets fat with never filling himself to full. I hope my answer will benefit your health and you will be able to fast without out getting hungry all day. May Allah guide us all on to the straight way of Islam that leads us to Allah and heaven in the hereafter.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
