RAMADHAN - PART 2 - SAHUR (early morning meals)

SAHUR TIPS

Many of us will have rice with curry during sahur. but most of us will have heartburn, indigestion & uneasy feeling after sahur. how to avoid these uncomfortable feelings?

here are some tips:

• don't sleep immediately after eating. i know some of them who'll sleep immediately after eating & they'll wake-up later to pray subuh. pls stay awake for a while to pray subuh & sleep. or some of us will not sleep after praying subuh. we will sit & do dhikir. then we will get ready to go to work.
• eat well balanced food. avoid taking rice with curry. try eating rice with light gravy, such as rasam, sambar or soup. make it simple as possible. i'll give some nice recipes later.
• drink plenty of plain water. try not to drink coffee or tea after eating. Tea makes you pass more urine taking with it valuable mineral salts that your body would need during the day. drinking fruit juices is also good.
• take more fruits & vegetables.
• avoid fried foods.
  

the above tips are also for breaking fast in the evening.

you may also remove fish cake or fish balls if you don't take them. you may use tofu as alternative or just use vegetables.

try not to add potatoes, as it will produce gas in our body. same case for carrot. but you may add small quantity of carrot for flavour.

you may also use chicken nuggets as side dish.
