Ramadan and Dieting
Posted on Aug 28th, 2009 | Comments (0)
Fasting during Ramadan can be good for one's health and personal development. In Ramadan, we restraint from food, water, and undesirable behavior and this helps in making us more mentally disciplined and less prone to unhealthy behavior. For overweight people Ramadan and diet go along as it is the best time to lose weight. If one is over-weight, Ramadan is an ideal time to normalize one’s weight. In view of the long hours of fasting in Ramadan, we should consume slow digesting foods including fiber containing-foods rather than fast-digesting foods. Slow digesting foods are best as Ramadan diet foods as they last up to 8 hours, while fast-digesting foods are not good Ramadan diet foods for they last for only 3 to 4 hours.
In Ramadan iftaris are composed of a ton of carbohydrates. Pasta, rice, bread, sweets and sugars are the most common culprits. Best diet tip is to try to avoid these. Ramadan diet foods should include a lot of proteins as you will stop feeling hungry and end up eating less. And even if you eat tons of proteins, you will still lose weight, indeed a diet tip easy to follow! Ramadan and diet for me many go hand in hand and many manage to lose weight as well.
Dr. Peter Toth, in his book Lipidology, has demonstrated that during Ramadan, Muslims lower their cholesterol no matter what they eat. Their bad cholesterol drops, while good cholesterol rises, regardless of what they eat in Ramadan. This happens, simply by fasting in Ramadan.
There are no specific Ramadan diet foods but one should always keep a check on what he is eating and be aware of what goes in your body. There is no better diet tip than to be your own check and balance in Ramadan.
Intake of a balanced diet is critical to maintain good health, sustain an active lifestyle and attain the full benefits of Ramadan.
