Fasting & Feasting
How to optimise your health
The upcoming
Raya festivity, as we know, is not only celebrated by the Muslims in Singapore
also indisputably by all who have the advantage of the long weekend Singapore
public holiday.
The vital
part of Raya celebration is not only connection with family, also the undeniable
anticipating to feast on the wide variety of mouthwatering local spread.
In preparation
for the celebration, the Muslims observe Ramadhan with the religious practice
of fasting.
Here are some
easy tips to ensure that you are able to keep your health at the optimal level during
fasting (Ramadham) as well as feasting (Syawal) period.
3 easy tips
during fasting period *Ramadhan
No 1. Eat high fiber and high liquid natural food
Why? to replenish liquid and to prevent constipation
Examples: watermelon, orange, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, cabbage pears, carrot, broccoli, lentil, beans, nuts, milk, coconut water and definitely dates (who doesn’t know!?) You can have them in soups or as smoothies
No 2. Take a break before main course
Why? to allow body to start producing the right enzymes in preparation for meal intake and to reduce hunger level preventing tendency to gorge large amount of food in a short time
Example: carry out Maghrib prayer or do a 5 minutes breathing or stretching exercise
No 3. Boost autophagy in your body with Curcumin/Turmeric
(autophagy – body
destroying damage and bad cells)
Why? fasting triggers autophagy (spring cleaning of your internal body) and consuming Curcumin intensify this process and to reap the optimal benefits of the good by product of fasting
Example: consume food or beverage with high turmeric and take supplement with high Curcumin
3 easy tips
during feasting period *Syawal
No 1. Eat natural
food and avoid processed food/sugar
Why? let the body absorb quality nutrients
Example: prepare food from scratch with fresh ingredients
No 2. Introduce a fun movement ritual
Why? to strengthen and build muscles that might have been lost during fasting and to escalate metabolism and heighten happy hormones
Example: pick 3 energetic songs or music to dance to (only 10 to 15 minutes), alternatively take a walk / stroll geo-caching or birds spotting or even Pokemon chasing
No 3. Detox your
liver from the excess burden during feasting
(vital for those with type II diabetes and on long
term prescribed medicine)
Why? over-eating especially high fat and deep-fried food overworked the liver and to prevent long term liver related diseases and complications
Example: drink lemon water and milk thistle tea in the morning and take supplement with milk thistle and choline
