 What to take at Ramadan

 Ramadan, is one of the sacred and important moments of every Muslim.

It is the month in which it is be­lieved that the Holy Qur’an was sent down from heaven “as a guidance for men and women, a declaration of direction, and a means of salvation.

During the ninth month on the Mus­lim calendar they observe a strict fast from dawn until sunset.

Muslims who are fasting are not allowed to eat or drink (even water) during daylight hours.

During suhoor or sehri, components of a balanced meal can help your blood sugar remain stable and give you energy.

Foods for breaking the fast easily are whole grains, vegetables, fruits, lean protein, healthy fat – all of these are important to give your body all the nutrients it needs after a long day of fasting.

It is also important to include fruits like watermelon, mango, grapes, dates, cashew, sugarcane, oranges and some protein supplement like eggs, khebab, meat, milk and dairy product.

Some drink milk to break the fast. Others use Tamarind, Sobolo, Lamugin etc.

For the main meals, one could consider rice and stew, tuo zaafi and ayoyo, banku and okro stew, omo tuo and groundnut soup or palm nut soup.
