Balanced Meals
“Planning nutritionally balanced Iftar and Suhour meals will help you maintain a healthy weight during the Holy month. For instance, Iftar typically fulfills more than 55% of the body’s nutrition needs and balances the sugar levels in the blood and brain. While on the other hand, Suhour prepares the body for a long day of fasting according to Nestle Nutritionist Zeinab Maktabi.
It is recommended to have your Iftar over two phases: start with dates, soup and salad, then have your main course.
