Thinking about a great suhoor during Ramadan? Here’s some tips in regards to eating a great suhoor.
Ramadan. The month of graciousness and worship. Ramadan is the month where Muslims fast, from dawn to dusk, for 30 days.
Every — or most — Ramadans start with a breakfast known as suhoor. There are variations in regards to how it’s written, but in English it’s often written as “suhoor”.
Suhoor is a wonderful breakfast before the daily fast in which you eat some food and then go to sleep. But you shouldn’t just be eating anything. Here’s some tips on how to have a great suhoor;
Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables contain essential minerals and nourishment which can help you maintain a healthy fast — while being saturated at the same time. Fruits and vegetables contain a lot of fibers which can take some time to digest, which therefore makes you less hungry.
Don’t eat heavy foods.
Heavy foods — such as fried foods, meats, and sausages are discouraged during the suhoor. Heavy foods make your stomach ache and also encourage you to be hungry during the fast — something which we can shout “uh oh” at. Opt for more simple foods, such as light products. Think of thin slices of cold-cut meats, eggs, and cheese etc. These will keep your stomach happy.
Eat fibrous carbohydrates.
Carbs — not sugars, by the way —are good at filling your stomach. Fibrous carbohydrates are absolutely wonderful. They take a long time to digest, but they’ll also keep you saturated during the fast. You can eat white bread and flour, but it’s much better to opt for the fibrous and whole kind.
