Health professionals advise changing food habits and moderation in food during Ramazan. The head of Mayo Hospital’s Department of Medicine, Prof Asrarul Haq, has said that one should eat samosas, pakoras, and kachoris as little as possible. Fried food increases the incidence of complicated diseases, he advises.
Furthermore, he also stated that Sehr should be considered as breakfast and Iftar as dinner. The food that is eaten throughout the year for these meals should be maintained, he added.
“If you stay away from fried food, you will save yourself from visiting hospitals during Ramazan. Eating unhealthy food from outside will lead you to hospitals and also disrupt your prayer routine,” the expert suggested.
He also recommended consuming water, fruits, and fresh juices for both Sehr and Iftar, adding that dinner should be eaten for Iftar instead of making extra arrangements.
