It's that time of year that we've all been looking forward to, the Holy Month of Ramadan – a season that is brimming with love, togetherness and homegrown traditions. Along with it, it also brings a beautiful period that is filled with memorable moments with family and friends, delightful iftar gatherings and suhoor get-togethers. It is especially easy to be tempted and overindulge during this period which is why the experts at NRTC Fresh come forward with essential guidance to ensure you fuel your body right while enjoying an incredible 25% off on all your Ramadan essentials this month!

Ramadan is a colourful season; so, why shouldn’t your plate be?
 

Now, as tempting as it might be to enjoy the sweet indulgence of delicious foods over iftars, overconsumption in a single sitting can be counterproductive, and overwhelming for your body.

Proper nourishment is crucial to maintain vitality during the fasting period and our bodies require an adequate supply of essential minerals, vitamins, and fluids to sustain energy levels, regulate our blood sugar, and keep us feeling satiated throughout the day. To ensure that you are fuelling your body right, it is important to keep an eye on your dietary choices, snacking selections and hydration frequencies after the fasting period. The key here is a conscious effort, proper care and identifying the perfect balance for wholesome meals.

Identifying the perfect balance.

Remember that the key is to fuel with long-lasting energy sources. To achieve this, the experts at NRTC Fresh recommend combining a healthy mix of green leafy vegetables such as lettuce, kale, or baby spinach with berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and others from the same family, which act as low-glycemic foods that grant you long-lasting sources of energy with minimal glucose spikes or crashes, for both iftar and suhoor. It is essential to recognise that high-fibre complex carbohydrates such as fruits and vegetables enable you to stay active and alert throughout the day until iftar. 

Following traditions that are backed by nutrition.
 

Breaking your fast with a date isn’t only traditional but is also immensely power-packed with nutrition. Dates are rich in nutrients, and antioxidants that aid in supporting smooth digestion, promote heart and brain health while actively boosting your energy.

Furthermore, it is also within the tradition to have an iftar that is balanced, with equal parts of complex carbs that include fruits, vegetables, and grains with a lean source of protein such as fish, chicken, meat, or eggs, and further balanced with healthy fats like labneh and dairy. Consuming a combination of these guarantees a longer satiated period without snacking or overindulging in fried, processed or sweetened foods until suhoor.

Getting an all-around hydration flow, just like a pro.

The importance of ample consumption of water is understood by all but it is essential to realise that, that isn’t your only source of hydration. Besides water, you can also include portions of salads that include water-rich vegetables like iceberg or romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, or zucchini along with fruits that are equally high in water content such as cantaloupes, watermelon, or oranges.

Furthermore, adding fresh fruit juices to your diet gives you the hydration you need, while fuelling your body with all the essential micronutrients, too!
