The benefits of certain foods

Soup: necessary, since it provides vegetables and contains meat, but be careful not to add too much fat to it. You'll also find soup made with starches, like vermicelli and chickpeas. In addition, add cilantro and freshly squeezed lemon juice, and it will be a source of vitamins.

Milk: it's very beneficial for hydration, but also for the intake of vitamins and minerals. It would be good to add a small teaspoon of turmeric to it.

Fruit: pay attention to quantities, since an apple contains 15 grams of sugar, the equivalent of three sugar cubes. Don't exceed three servings a day.

Dates: they are a source of minerals, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. Choose them fresh, and note that three dates are the equivalent of one piece of fresh fruit. (Three figs are also the equivalent of one piece of fresh fruit.)

Bread: it has a full place during this month of fasting; you can choose whole grain or rye bread to avoid problems with constipation.

Oilseeds: flaxseeds are rich in omega 3, 6, and 9; you can eat about ten of them daily. In addition, avoid snacking on peanuts and pistachios since they contain bad fats; favor walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds instead.

Pastries: chocolate croissants or plain croissants contain a lot of fat and sugar. They can occasionally replace buttered bread, but they will make us feel hungry again more quickly.

Drinks: water alone is essential. You can also hydrate with soup, coffee, and herbal tea, preferably without sugar. Sodas should be avoided; they contain sugar and carbonation that can cause digestive problems.
