Tree Top Hospital Shares Tips On How To Enjoy A Healthy Suhoor This Ramadan

With Muslims observing the holy month of Ramadan worldwide, Tree Top Hospital has shared some tips on delighting in a hearty yet healthy Suhoor during the auspicious period. Suhoor is the last meal that Muslims consume pre-dawn before commencing their fast for the day. On average, fasting lasts around 12 or more hours therefore, it is essential that a fulfilling and nourishing Suhoor is taken before beginning fasting.

Starting the Suhoor meal with a healthy drink is an energizing way to prepare the body for the long hours ahead keeping hydration levels up throughout the fasting window. Water, milk, fresh juices and even smoothies will be a valuable addition to any Suhoor meal. Tree Top Hospital also recommends drinking a glass of water with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to further improve digestion and boost metabolism during the day.

In order to retain long-lasting energy, it is important to consume foods rich in complex carbohydrates and fibres such as whole-grain bread and oatmeal. To obtain the necessary input of essential vitamins and minerals, Suhoor meals must also make room for fruits and vegetables too, helping set up a proportionately balanced last meal. Likewise, it is equally important to incorporate protein-rich foods in Suhoor as proteins are vital in the repair and build of body tissues. Portions of chicken or fish, boiled eggs, cheese, yoghurt, nuts and legumes are all perfect for this share.

Although it is vital to have a well-balanced meal, do go overboard and overeat! Consuming high levels of calories or fatty foods can cause indigestion, bloating and general discomfort during the day. For the best results, it is recommended to have small and frequent meals during Ramadan.
