Experts share ways to stay healthy while fasting


To maximise the benefits of fasting during Ramadan, experts are urging people to avoid excess and follow a healthy, balanced diet. 

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, which is based around the lunar cycle. During this period, Muslims around the world observe a daily fast from dawn until sunset. 

“Ramadan is an opportunity for people to develop healthier eating habits. It’s all about balance and moderation,” Faten Marji, a nutritionist, told The Jordan Times. 

She recommended breaking one’s fast with a small meal so as not to “overburden” the digestive system after abstaining from food for an extended period of time.
