Of course, in iftari everything seems alluring, and obviously, you will eat it ALL. But what everyone overlooks is that our stomach contract while fasting, so with regards to eating, there’s truly no space for a lot. Despite everything doesn’t stop a considerable lot of us stuffing a plateful of fried food before sickness kicks in. That is maybe why numerous individuals, unusually, put on weight during Ramadan. Your digestion gets disturbed, and the important nourishment you are putting away is undesirable and bloating.

All those samosas and pakoras look delectable I agree, in any case, having them regularly during Ramadan isn’t the best for our waistlines. So in case you’re hoping to utilize the month to detox, get in shape or simply not feel bloated here’s our guide to what to avoid in iftari.

1. FRIZZY DRINKS/SODA: Avoid drinking carbonated beverages, which are typically high in sugar, increasing your danger of getting overweight, and can cause bloating and gas, prompting acid reflux. Stick to normal water or fresh fruits juices to extinguish your thirst.
2. FRIED SNACKS: We all know Ramadan is incomplete without pakoras and all our favourite fried snacks but they’re the main reason for gastric problems and bloating as having them right after an extended period of fasting causes heartburn. They’re extremely harmful to one’s health also. Try to create a balance and not have them too much if you can’t completely avoid them.
3. HIGH- SUGAR FOODS: High-sugar food items such as chocolates, ice cream and other desserts ought to maintain a strategic distance as they contain next to no health benefit and are high in calories. They’re full of calories and can prompt medical problems whenever devoured each day. But don’t ignore the necessary sugar intake from the juices, smoothies and fruits.
4. JUNK FOOD: All sorts of junk food for example chips, noodles, pasta, burgers have a negative effect on your health especially in iftar as your body gets food after 15-16 hours and whatever first meal you’re taking, your stomach takes time to digest it. You won’t have enough energy the entire day since what you eat doesn’t contain the required nutritions or benefits.
5. CAFFEINATED DRINKS: Unlike sehri, having coffee or tea right after iftar or during iftari will increase your appetite and caffeine will also result in headaches. Rather than these drinks have lemonades to keep you fresh and hydrated.

Other than that don’t break your fast with any fried items rather do it with dates as it gives instant energy, don’t drink too much water and overeat too much because that’s the main reason for making us lethargic.
