Many people experience stomach discomfort during Ramadan due to overeating or consuming heavy meals after long fasting hours. Proper meal planning between iftar and suhoor can significantly improve digestive comfort.
Break Your Fast Gently
Start with dates and water, followed by a light soup to prepare your stomach. Avoid jumping straight into fried or fatty foods, which can strain digestion.
Divide Your Meals
Instead of one large meal, split your food into two lighter meals between iftar and suhoor, allowing your body enough time to digest properly.
Avoid Irritants
Limit spicy foods, fried items, carbonated drinks, and excessive caffeine at night, as they can trigger acidity and bloating.
Choose a Balanced Suhoor
A healthy suhoor should include:
-
Light protein such as eggs or yogurt.
-
Complex carbohydrates like whole-grain bread.
-
Fiber-rich vegetables for better digestion.
Avoid salty foods and heavy sweets before sleep to reduce thirst and discomfort.
Stay Hydrated Wisely
Drink water gradually from iftar until suhoor rather than consuming large amounts at once.
Organizing your meals during Ramadan not only protects your stomach but also boosts your energy and overall well-being.
