Foods for Ramzaan.

Asalamwalaikum everybody,
Health is the key to happiness as it is rightly quoted," Health is Wealth"
Our Noble Prophet Muhammad had said, "Take advantage of the Good health before illness afflicts you."

The blessed month of Ramzaan is a great opportunity to have a balance in both HEALTH and become CLOSER to ALLAH(s.w.t)

The stomach is the main cause that helps our brain FUNCTION and we get distracted in our daily lives away from the ALLAH almighty.On the other hand, when a person FASTS not only his stomach remains empty and doesn't allow the BRAIN to work much., It gives a chance to the INDIVIDUAL to praise ALLAH more than he can ever do.

As far as to my knowledge, my beautiful sisters in ISLAM are not only DAUGHTERS but wives, mothers to their family also.

I find a great way to share my small yet useful information on RAMZAAN foods.

Things to avoid and things to include.

Foods to avoid are the heavily-processed, fast-burning foods that contain refined carbohydrates in the form of sugar, white flour, etc., as well as, of course, too much fatty food (eg: cakes,biscuits, chocolates and sweets, such as Indian Mithai). It may also be worth avoiding the caffeine content in drinks such as tea, coffee and cola. (Caffeine is a diuretic and stimulates faster water loss through urination.)
Try alternative methods as against, Frying, Deep frying , Curries with excessive oil(i.e Tarri ) in Indian terms by replacing with grilling, shallow pan frying, baking the fish and chicken, boiling protein filled sprouts.

Usually we see that we do not indulge in proper SEHRI but we gorge and hog food at IFTAR time. This should not be done. Imagine, working in the KITCHEN to cook only for 1 person normally then all of a sudden u have to cook for 100 people.! Isnt that very disturbing ?? Same is the case of our Body. 

Please remember my dear sisters that a meal should always remain a meal and not a FEAST...

Try to minimise the rich, creamy and oily stuff as practiced everywhere and follow simple things.


Like I had said earlier,,

You don't need to eat HUMMUS, or SAMOSA or BIRYANI or CURRIES to become a TRUE and GOOD MUSLIM, Islam is WAY of LIFE, not some culture or tradition that was founded 1400 years ago.!

SubhanALLAH.

Take care,
Regards,
