As Muslims in Malaysia and around the world embark on the sacred journey of Ramadan tomorrow, let’s not overlook the importance of nourishing our bodies alongside our souls.
By: Indra Balaratnam, FMTIt can be tempting to overindulge after a day of fasting, but moderation and healthy choices will go a long way.
A sahur meal need not be elaborate. Opt for nutrient-dense, energy-providing foods like whole grains, lean proteins such as eggs, beans, fish or dairy, and fresh fruits to provide sustained energy and nutrition throughout the fasting hours. Embrace a colourful array of fresh ingredients by including grains, lean proteins, vegetables, fruits, and dairy products. Minimise ultra-processed foods that are high in unhealthy fats, sugars, sodium and additives.
Batch cooking also helps you cut back on buying too much outside food during Ramadan, allowing you to eat more healthily while being kind to your wallet.When it’s time to break your fast, opt for nutrient-rich options to replenish your body’s stores. Dates, being a traditional choice, provide a quick source of energy and essential nutrients.
