FROM SUNRISE TO SUNSET: 10 PRODUCTS TO GET YOU THROUGH RAMADAN
Mar 07, 24 | News | 0 Comments
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection and community. During Ramadan, amongst many things, Muslims abstain from eating food and drinking any liquids from before the light of dawn until the setting of the sun. At the end of Ramadan, there is a big three-day celebration called Eid al-Fitr, or the Festival of the Breaking of the Fast.
All Muslims are required to take part every year, though there are special dispensations for those who are ill, pregnant or nursing, menstruating, or travelling, and for young children and the elderly. Although it is not necessary to exercise during Ramadan, it is important to choose nutritious, energy rich foods when you eat in order to refuel your body and replenish blood sugar levels. Foods that are high in fibre, protein rich and starchy are ideal for those who are celebrating Ramadan as they keep you fuller for longer.
Here are 10 products which will help you get through Ramadan, from Suhoor to Iftar:
