People should use vegetables in Ramadan, says health expert

SUKKUR: Health expert on Thursday stressed the need for using raw and steamed vegetables like tomatoes, cucumber, salad etc during Ramadan.

People should avoid from fried food, sugar and juices and decrease the use of sugar, said health expert Dr. Tufail Soomro while talking to APP.

He said people who fast should not skip 'Sehri' with a view to reduce weight.

They should rather wake up early in the morning to have their 'Sehri' for maintaining good health.

People who keep fast should avoid eating too much during Iftar as they tend to consume more than their bodies actually need.

Dates, which are an excellent source of sugar, fiber, carbohydrates, potassium and magnesium, are also highly recommended.
