Jakarta, 13 Juni 2016 – Many people experience weakness and weight gain during fasting due to uncontrolled eating patterns. This occurs because of skipping suhoor, overeating at iftar, and consuming foods high in sugar and fat, which have become common habits. In a segement on Metro Plus Siang, dr. Grace Judio-Kahl discussed the vital importance of proper nutritional intake during fasting to ensure that our energy levels remain stable and our digestive health is well-maintained throughout the day. 

Fasting is a change in eating times, not a change in nutritional needs. During suhoor, it is recommended to start with a glass of milk, followed by a balanced meal consisting of carbohydrates, protein, vegetables, and fruit in adequate portions. Controlling meal volume remains important so that the gastrointestinal system works optimally throughout the day. When breaking the fast, the body needs a quick source of energy, such as drinks or sweet foods in reasonable amounts. After that, continue with a complete and balanced main meal. It is wise to limit spicy foods as well as those high in sugar, salt, and fat, as they can trigger digestive discomfort and make the fasting period feel more taxing on the body. 

By adopting the right eating patterns during suhoor and iftar, you can experience more stable energy levels and keep your digestion in check. The key is a balanced menu, controlled portions, and wiser food choices. This ensures that the benefits of fasting are felt not only spiritually but also through a healthier, more vibrant body overall.
