Many of us welcome this month with enthusiasm to take advantage of all its benefits, both physically, mentally, and spiritually, including consuming nutritious and filling sahur and iftar.
Reported from various sources, here is a healthy sahur menu that will make you feel full longer:
- Prioritize Drinking Water
During fasting, it is natural to feel dehydrated because you have not drunk water for a long time. Coupled with an unusual sleep pattern, you may feel more tired than usual.
To overcome this, drink lots of fluids, especially water during sahur and breaking the fast. Avoid drinks with high caffeine content (such as coffee, energy drinks, etc.) because they can make the body more dehydrated.
Also try to reduce the consumption of sweet drinks such as soda, because they can cause bloating and digestive problems. Try to drink at least 2-3 glasses of water when eating sahur.
- Soup
Soup is one of the dishes that is rich in vegetables. In addition to vegetables, soup usually also contains meat which can help you feel full longer. Interestingly, soup is said to inhibit the production of hormones in the stomach that regulate hunger and appetite.
A study Digital Agency Singapore from University also showed that women who eat soup for breakfast tend to consume 100 fewer calories at lunch.
In addition, soup contains a lot of fluids that help the body feel full longer. However, make sure the soup you choose is made from broth or water, not cream of soup.
