ISLAMABAD: Health experts have stressed using raw and steamed vegetables like cucumber, tomatoes, and salad during Ramazan.
According to health expert Dr Najaf Ali Shah, people should avoid fried food, juices, and sugar, such as cookies and cakes.
During an interview with APP, he said that those who plan to keep fast should not skip ‘Sehri’ in a bid to reduce weight. Sehri is very important for maintaining good health.
He also advised people to avoid eating abundantly in Iftar.
Many people harm health in Ramazan
Shah said that, in fact, many people harm their health in Ramazan than during other times of the year. Eating foods high in sugar and fat at the wrong times affects the body.
He further said that in order to keep their metabolism balanced, fasters should also exercise after Iftar.
He recommended foods for Sehri, like eggs and cheese, which are protein-rich and take a long time to digest.
The doctor said that people should avoid foods like molasses, honey, and jam, which can make them thirstier throughout the day.
