Breaking the fast with a balanced meal is important because the food that fills the stomach during breaks will help fast the next day.
Ramadan is an opportunity to cultivate good and healthy eating habits that will remain after the fasting month ends.
Dates are highly recommended as an appetizer in breaking the fast. Why is that? After holding for about 12 hours without eating and drinking, fasting people are in dire need of sugar and water, the first two substances that should be consumed.
Reduced glucose (sugar substances) in the body can lead to narrowing of the chest and disruption of the bones. On the other hand, reduced water can weaken and reduce body resistance.
