Staying healthy during Ramadan

@EbhotaEseohe

Ramadan, the Islamic holy month is here again. It is that time of the year when Muslim faithful reflect on their relationship with God and also draw closer to him. During this period, they abstain from food until a certain hour. But while reflecting on our relationship with the Almighty, it is also important to stay healthy. Therefore YOUTHVILLE has some ideas that can help you remain healthy during the holy month.

Drink lots of water with your healthy fruits. This will help the brain to work faster and also keep you hydrated. Fresh fruits & Vegetables are high in water and low in calories especially sugar calories. Berries, Cucumber, Watermelon, and Oranges are good idea.

Akamu /pap is also a good option because it keeps you full. It can be taken with masa, Waina or even moi-moi/Kosai (bean cake).

Avoid energy-sapping activities that could leave you feeling drained after engaging in such activity.

Eat healthy snacks like dates (Dabino), kunun aya (tiger nut milk) or kunun gyada. These snacks provide the necessary vitamins the body needs to function properly.

Above all it should be noted that maintaining a balanced diet by eating healthily has a vital influence on your wellbeing. As the Ramadan begins, this should be uppermost in our minds.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy Ramadan….. Ramadan Kareem!!!
