Ramadan 2025: Ramadan 2025 is one of the most special and auspicious occasions, especially for the Muslim community. The celebration of Ramadan is a time for deep spiritual reflection, self-discipline, and, most importantly, mindful living. It is essential to adopt healthy eating habits, particularly during Iftar. After long hours of fasting, it is crucial to break the fast with nutrient-rich foods that nourish the body and restore energy levels effectively.
Moreover, mindful eating during Iftar helps prevent excessive overeating, balances digestion, and maintains steady energy levels throughout the evening. Here are some mindful eating tips to keep in mind during Iftar:

Begin Your Iftar With Water And Dates
One of the simplest yet most effective ways to break your fast is by consuming four dates with water. However, avoid eating in a rush. Dates help stabilise blood sugar levels, while water keeps the body hydrated.
Chew Properly
Always take your time to chew food properly. Eating too quickly can strain digestion, whereas proper chewing aids digestion and helps the body absorb essential nutrients from food.
Avoid Fried Foods
Although fried foods may seem tempting, it is best to avoid them as they can cause bloating, acidity, and gas, making you feel uncomfortable.
