Fasting helps the body remove toxins naturally, and therefore, experts recommend paying attention to what one should avoid eating at both breakfast and suhoor to obtain the desired benefits from fasting.

Suhoor is an essential meal in the month of Ramadan as it can help the body conserve energy, thus keeping the fasting person active and giving him a feeling of fullness for the longest possible time of the day.

In order to ensure a healthy suhoor meal without harming the body, experts recommend avoiding the following foods:

Fried and fatty foods

This type of food is usually very delicious, but it does not contain any nutritional value, according to experts.

Fried foods can make the digestive system work harder and thus make the body tired easily.

Although fats are essential in our diet, we often consume the wrong types of fats and in very large quantities, including cheese, butter, processed meats, and fried foods, all of which are highly consumed during the month of Ramadan.

These foods cause heartburn, exacerbate acid reflux and inflammation. It contains very large amounts of calories, so it is common for many people to gain weight during the month of Ramadan.

In addition, avoiding saturated fats found in animal products, such as high-fat dairy products, processed meats and butter, as well as coconut oil and palm oil (found in many processed foods) can help improve heart health and reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure. Blood pressure.

Experts recommend that if you want to eat fried foods, it is best to do so only during dinner and not during iftar or suhoor.

Simple or refined carbohydrates

These foods, such as sugars, white flour, pastries, cakes and cereals, provide satisfaction for only three to four hours and are low in essential nutrients, so eating them at suhoor will not be beneficial.

Salty food

An imbalance in sodium levels in the body makes you feel very thirsty during fasting, so try to avoid salty or highly seasoned foods, as well as foods that contain soy sauce in the suhoor meal.

Beverages containing caffeine

Beverages containing caffeine can lead to insomnia.

Beverages such as coffee, green tea, energy drinks, and others contain a high percentage of caffeine, and if a fasting person consumes them during suhoor, they can leave the fasting person thirsty throughout the day.

Simple sugars

A common practice during Ramadan is to eat sweets such as qatayef. Although these sweets are full of energy (i.e. calories), they do not keep you active throughout the day, and in fact they often leave you feeling incredibly lethargic just an hour or two after suhoor. This is because these foods contain simple sugars that release energy very quickly and within a short period of time.

It also raises blood sugar levels quickly, leading to the release of large amounts of insulin, which makes you feel tired.

This also means that you should avoid foods such as refined grains as well as refined carbohydrates because they also contain simple sugars and are low in fiber, so they will make you feel hungry very quickly.
