Ramadan is a special time, but with long hours of fasting, it’s normal to feel tired or low on energy. The solution is choosing the right foods that help you stay energized throughout the day. Let’s take a look at some of the best options.
Start with dates and nuts. Dates are not just sweet. They give you a quick energy boost after a long day of fasting, while nuts help you feel full in a healthy way.
Whole grains such as oats, brown rice, or whole wheat bread help maintain steady energy levels and prevent sudden drops later on.
Healthy protein like grilled chicken, fish, or eggs keeps your body active and supports your muscles, especially if you like to stay active or do light exercise after iftar.
Fruits and vegetables are packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They support digestion, reduce constipation, and give a refreshing feeling.
Water is your best friend. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty. Drink water between iftar and suhoor to keep your body well hydrated.
Final tip. Start your iftar with a date and a glass of water, then enjoy a balanced meal with protein and vegetables, and finish with fruit. This way, you’ll feel energized without feeling heavy.
