“You have to chew the pieces very well to create a feeling of fullness and reduce the burden on the stomach.

You must be careful to drink plenty of water. You should not meet your water needs with tea or similar liquids.

Fried foods should be avoided.

Instead of confectionery desserts, preference should be given to dairy desserts, ice cream and fruit desserts as much as possible.

Due to Ramadan, you should not eat irregularly, complacently at home, and you should stay away from junk food and fast food.

You should prefer smaller portions and feed more often and less.

Make sure your dinner is light.

It would be more beneficial to gradually return to our old eating habits after breaking the fast. During fasting, 4-5 meals, that is, 2-3 meals, unloading the stomach with small portions, such as fruits in between, will also prevent severe hunger during the next meal and make you more comfortable.

Diabetics, chronic kidney disease, people with cholesterol and blood pressure problems should be careful. We can offer a lighter and more suitable alternative to their diet without insisting that they eat.

Don’t let your kids eat too much sugar and chocolate, get empty energy and lose their appetite for their main meal.

Include salad, vegetables, and fruits in your diet to help regulate your bowels.”
