To be healthy, one must consume food from the major food
groups: bread and cereal, milk and dairy product, meat and bean, vegetable and
fruit. During the month long fast of Ramadan the metabolic rate of a fasting
person slows down and other regulatory mechanisms start functioning. Body and
dietary fat is efficiently utilized. Consuming total food intake that is less
than the total food intake during normal days is sufficient to maintain a
person's health. Intake of fruits after a meal is strongly suggested. A
balanced diet improves blood cholesterol profile, reduces gastric acidity,
prevents constipation and other digestive problems, and contributes to an
active and healthy life style. (Int. J. Ramadan Fasting Research, 3:1-6, 1999)
To all my Islamic brethren, I wish for you to journey
through Ramadhan with the knowledge that Fasting has scientific benefits to the
Human Body. As a clinical Biochemist, food biotechnologist and a Nutritionist,
many of my Muslim clients have been coming back to our clinic for their
NUTRITION plans during Ramadhan. Why because we add an element of science to
the fasting period helping clients loose weight. Most people gain weight during
fasting periods and I will set about in my video to explain why you put on
weight.....
Eating for religious purposes now can be bettered with a
scientific application of Dietitics to it. NO LONGER should fasting and
breaking your fast, be about Guesswork! It should be a PLANNED QUA!
Watch my Video to help you understand the following
1. How the Human body works in a fasting state?
2. What meals should be eaten at Sehri and Iftar ( They
should differ)?
3. What supplements can carry you through weight loss and
healthier living?
Some words of caution as a Medical Nutrition
expert....Believe it or not most people tend to add weight during Ramadan in
spite of going more than 15 hours with nothing to eat or drink. I’ll tell you
how …….. going more than 15 hours with no food automatically shuts down your
metabolism because the body thinks its starving and for that it goes into
survival mode holding on to the fat and keeping fat burning to a minimum
imagine after that (prepping your body to hold on to fat) people overcompensate
in the remaining less than 40% of the day between 6:40 Pm till 3:20 Am which is
a less physical active period ……. so basically your eating a lot when your
metabolism is so slow in a period that you’re the least active.
