As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, millions of Muslims around the world prepare to observe fasting from dawn until sunset.
This sacred act of devotion not only encompasses spiritual growth but also presents an opportunity to focus on physical wellbeing.
According to nutrition enthusiast Sheikh Abdulswamad Ali of Mombasa, crafting a balanced diet during this month is essential to maintaining energy and health while fulfilling the obligation to observe Ramadhan effectively.
Sheikh Abdulswamad emphasizes the importance of Suhoor, the pre-dawn meal, as the foundation of a healthy Ramadhan diet. "Suhoor should include complex carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats," he says.
