Foods you should avoid during Ramadan and why

Fasting is already a challenge, so why eat foods that make it harder? Avoid these troublemakers to stay energized and feel great throughout Ramadan.

That crispy samosa might look tempting, but fried foods slow you down and leave you feeling bloated. Go for grilled or baked options instead.

Guzzling soda at iftar might feel refreshing, but the sugar spike will leave you drained. Fresh juices or coconut water are much better alternatives.

Think desserts will keep you full? Think again. Sugary treats send your energy on a rollercoaster ride, leaving you exhausted before suhoor even starts.

Refined carbs burn out fast, leaving you hungry way too soon. Whole grains keep you fuller for longer, so choose wisely.

Greasy, processed meals make you feel heavy and tired. Homemade, nutrient-packed meals will keep your energy up and your body feeling good.
