Suara.com – Entering the month of Ramadan, sahur is an important moment to prepare oneself in fasting.
It's not just about filling your stomach, choosing the right food for sahur is the key to maintaining health and energy during fasting.
Paying attention to proper nutrition has a big influence on fasting endurance. Below are some suggestions for foods that can be consumed at dawn.
1. Prioritize Protein
Protein intake helps build and repair body tissue, increases endurance, and keeps you feeling full longer.
Choose low-fat protein sources such as eggs, lean meat, fish, tofu, or tempeh.
2. Consume Water
Drinking enough water at dawn is very important to prevent dehydration during fasting.
Avoid caffeinated and fizzy drinks which can worsen dehydration.
Consume a minimum of 1-2 glasses of water per meal.
3. Consume Fruit and Vegetables
Fruit and vegetables are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals which are important for body health.
Fiber helps improve digestion and increase satiety.
Consume various types of fresh fruit and vegetables to meet your vitamin and mineral needs.
4. Optimal Energy from Complex Carbohydrates:
Choose complex carbohydrates such as brown rice, whole wheat bread, or oatmeal.
Complex carbohydrates provide long-lasting energy, helping to maintain energy levels during fasting.
Choosing the right meal for sahur is not only about filling your stomach, but also about giving your body the nutrients it needs to fast comfortably and healthily.
