Are You Fasting? Stay Healthy During Ramadan With These 6 Super Foods

Getting through the month of Ramadan is hard enough- when
you haven’t had food all day, you really don’t feel like watching what you eat
or counting calories after sunset! However, as we have learnt, most people
actually put on some weight during this time. To help you avoid this, a Nigerian
food company has gathered tips for healthy food to eat before and after the
fasting, which also keeps you full for a long time.

#1 Yogurt

This great source of vitamin B is perfect for a snack on the
go. It naturally reduces hunger and is also known for its great effect on the
gut flora. And with about 100 calories per serving (170 g) it is absolutely
weight-friendly as well. Continue below…

#2 Avocados

Avocados are rich in natural fats which are a core component
of a healthy nutrition. Fun fact: they can also be used as a substitute of
flour in baking. Plus: the yellow-green fruit is able to lower cholesterol
levels which are the main reason for heart diseases if too high.

#3 Coconut water

Coconut water is best known for its miraculous effects on
body, hair and skin. It also helps you to stay hydrated – drink a glass of
coconut water with every meal and you will be surprised by its benefits. It
also helps you lose weight the healthy way. 

 #4 Oatmeal

Oatmeal is very high in fibre and helps you control your
weight by providing the most essential nutrients such as protein to make you
ready for the day. One of the biggest advantages Oatmeal offers is that it can
help you fight skin problems – the starchiness of oats helps the skin holding its
moisture, while the rougher fibrous husk of the oat acts as a gentle exfoliant.

#5 Bananas

Bananas are very high in magnesium. If you do sports
regularly, they can even help you reduce cramps. They are also easy to snack on
the go and since they are high in (healthy) carbs they are the perfect food to
keep you feeling saturated for a longer period of time. Snack-Tip: Spread some
peanut butter on a toast bread and put banana pieces on the top – a delicious
meal to start the day.

#6 Almonds

Almonds are a real power booster! They contain calcium,
iron, magnesium and vitamins that keep you fit and are good for your heart.
Studies have also proven that almonds are beneficial for weight loss and
lowering blood pressure. One small handful a day might just keep the doctor
away and make you feel full.
