Dates or Khajur are perfect food to eat after fasting during Ramadan.
Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar and fasting is amongst the 5 pillars of Islam. During Ramadan, followers of Islam across the world spend the month fasting during the day and break it once the sun sets. Traditionally, dates are eaten to break the fast.
In this blog Nutritionist and Dietician, Avni Kaul talks about the importance of dates during Ramadan.
Dates have high nutritional components. They are a big source of iron, fiber, natural sugar, potassium, and magnesium. If you are fasting, make sure to have plenty of dates at home.
Post-fasting dates or Khajur help replenish the body with vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates.
Consuming huge quantities of food instantly after fasting is not a healthy thing to do because your body has already become slightly weakened due to fasting. Dates are slow to digest and therefore one feels fuller for longer time. Dates also provide the body much needed time to digest its vital nutrients.
They also rejuvenate the body’s digestive process and provide energy to process complex foods. That is why they are so popular specially during Ramadan.
P.S. Dates contain natural sugar but if you have diabetes, do consult your doctor or a qualified nutritionist before planning to consume them.
