Healthy eating during Ramadan is not very different from healthy eating during any other month. Before discussing specific tips for Ramadan, let’s review 5 important healthy eating habits.
No one category of food can give you all the nutrients you need. A healthy diet always includes all of the following:
When you eat more food than your body needs, the extra calories are stored as fat.
Plant foods are highly recommended because they include few calories and lots of fiber, vitamins and minerals. In addition, they have no cholesterol and are low in fat.
Eat a diet low in fat and cholesterol
Eat sweets and sugary foods in moderation
Fasting during Ramadan should not be a diet plan. During Ramadan, you should eat the amount of food you need to maintain your normal weight. However, if you are overweight, Ramadan offers an opportunity to start eating healthy and begin gradually losing some weight so you can reach a healthy weight during the month or after it.
