Common Mistakes in Ramzan

Common mistakes in 🌙 Ramadhan:

1. Drinking "rooh afza" on a daily basis🍹

- Why: It contains high amounts of sugar, additives and colarants
- Solution: If you have to, drink it twice a week maximum

2. Drinking large amounts of water at iftaar time

- Why: Filling the stomach with water is more strenuous to it than with food.
- Solution: have a few sips at iftaar then a glass after every two hours.

3. Exercising directly after iftaar.

- Why: the body's blood flow is concentrated around the stomach at that time.
- Solution: Exercise after two hours of eating to ease digestion.

4. Chewing and swallowing food fast.

- Why: chewing food slowly can speed up digestion and help maintain your weight

5. Having dessert directly after iftaar

- Why: they make you drowsy and sleepy 😴
- Solution: leave at least a two hour gap between iftaar and dessert to stay fresh and awake for ishaa and taraweeh prayers

6. Consuming foods with high amounts of sodium

- Why: Sodium triggers thirst through out the fasting hours of the day
- Solution: instead, eat foods that are high in potassium, they retain water and supress your thirst.

# Bananas are high in potassium. A banana at Suhoor time can control your thirst level through out the day.

# Best sources of potassium for Suhoor time:
- bananas 🍌
- milk 🍼
- dates
- avocados 🍏
- dried peaches 🍐
- pistachios
- pumpkin 🍠
- peas
- dark chocolate 🍫

# Worst choices for Suhoor:
- biryani
- kebab
- pizza
- fast food in general
- cheese 🍕
- haleem

# Best choices for Suhoor:
- potato
- rice
- dates
- whole grain bread

Cinnamon & Honey Formula for Weight Loss

This should be prepared at night before going to bed. 1. Use 1 part cinnamon to 2 parts raw honey. 1/2 tsp cinnamon to 1 tsp honey is recommended but can use more or less as long as in the ratio of 1 to 2. --- so 1 tsp cinnamon to 2 tsp raw honey is ok too as an example. 2. Boil 1 cup...that is 8 oz of water. 3. Pour water over cinnamon and cover and let it steep for 1/2 hour..(30 minutes) 4. Add honey now that it has cooled. Never add honey when it is hot as the heat will destroy the enzymes and other nutrients in the raw honey. 5. Drink 1/2 of this directly before going to bed. The other 1/2 should be covered and refrigerated. 6. In the morning drink the other half that you refirgerated...but do not re-heat it...drink it cold or at room temp only. Do not add anything else to this recipe. No lemon, no lime, no vinegar. It is not necessary to drink it more time in a day...it is only effective on an empty stomach and primarily at night. This works for most people
