The spiritual month Ramadan is ideally a time when mind and body are in alignment. Here are some habits that impede that from happening, as detailed by Doctor Thami Ouazzani-Touhami.
Here is a list of 5 habits to avoid
1-Quick-sugar foods to avoid, such as aliments that contain Glucose
The Doctor said fast-digesting carbohydrates, which include sugars are addictive, lead people to become upset, and create within them a need to consume even more.
2- Avoid too much salty food
“Eating salty food will trigger thirst during the fast,” the Doctor specified, recommending dates and soup as aliments to consume during Iftar.
3-Do not vary food too much
Ouazzani-Touhami warned about eating different meals during the short time between Iftar and dinner, as they may cause poor digestion and gastrointestinal problems.
4-Maintain balance in physical activities
“Fasting does not impact physical functioning, and people have to wake up as usual around 7 to 8 a.m and do their daily duties, while taking it easy on themselves,” he stated.
“Tarawih prayers are also part of physical activities during this Holy month,” the Doctor added.
5-Let go of the idea that fasting makes people weak and inactive
“ It is the opposite that should be understood, fasting cleanses the body from toxins accumulated throughout the year,” the Doctor concluded.
This month of the year is an opportunity to maintain a healthy lifestyle, lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and even lose weight for people dealing with these health imbalances.
