JAKARTA - Sahur is a very important meal time for Muslims who fast during the month of Ramadan. Foods consumed during sahur play a major role in determining the level of energy, body resistance, and comfort during fasting.
Unfortunately, many people often choose foods that can cause rapid hunger, thirst, and even weakness throughout the day. In order to make fasting smoother and the body remains powerful, there are several types of food that should be avoided when suhoor.
Here are 3 types of the worst foods that are not recommended for consumption during sahur, as reported by Masnad Health Clinic.
1. Asin food
Foods that contain a lot of salt can not only increase blood pressure, but also cause excessive thirst throughout the day. Some examples of salted foods that are often consumed during sahur are instant noodles, processed foods such as chips and sausages, salted cheeses such as halloumi cheese, bailouts and foods preserved with salt.
To reduce salt consumption, try reducing the amount of salt in cooking and checking the nutritional label on packaged foods. Choose a product that contains less than 120 mg of sodium per 100 grams.
2. Fat Foods
Fat is needed by the body, but consuming the wrong type of fat or excessive amount can cause various health problems, including digestive disorders such as ulcers and acid reflux, increased weight due to high amounts of calories in fatty foods, and inflammation and the risk of heart disease due to excessive consumption of saturated fats.
Some of the high-fat foods that are often consumed during sahur include fried foods such as pastel, samosa, and falafel, foods that contain a lot of cheese and butter, and processed meat such as sausages and nuggets.
As a healthier alternative, choose unsaturated fats such as olive oil, avocado, fish, and nuts in reasonable quantities.
3. Sugar High Food
Although sweet foods such as pastries orfermiologists are often consumed during sahur, this is not a good choice. Because high sugar foods only provide energy in a short time, but make the body tired quickly.
Foods with simple sugars such as sweet aereals such as cornflakes and coco pops, white rice, white bread, and processed flour, and desserts with high sugar vinegar.
This food causes a rapid jump in blood sugar, followed by a sharp decline, so the body feels weak in just 1.2 hours after dawn. Instead, choose fiber-rich foods such as foammeal, wheat bread, and fruits to keep energy longer.
