A doctor reveals an “amazing” recipe for suhoor and iftar in Ramadan
Consultant Bacteriophage, Immunology and Nutrition, and Head of the Bacteriology Department at Cairo University Hospital Nahla Abdel-Wahab gave her tips for a healthy Ramadan diet.
According to "Sky News", Dr. Nahla explained that the start of suhoor should contain a salad that contains more than one type of vegetables, as it helps to retain oxygen and water for a long time and reduces the feeling of thirst.
And she continued: It should also contain some type of protein, such as beans, with a cup of yogurt or eat any type of dairy.
And about breakfast, she said: “It is preferable to eat dates at the beginning and a glass of water, and a spoonful of honey with lemon on it, then wait for a short time for prayer, and then start with hot soup.”
And she added: After eating soup, salads and meat, the body will have begun to feel full, which makes us reduce the intake of carbohydrates.
In reference to weight maintenance.
And she concluded: "It is also important that we use natural bee honey in the sweets that we make at home, and that we eat small pieces of it, preferably on a non-daily basis."
