The month of Ramadan is currently taking place in the vibrant season of spring, during which fasting is recognized as one of the five fundamental pillars of Islam and a vital aspect of the Muslim faith. Across the globe, more than one billion Muslims observe fasting throughout Ramadan, with the duration of fasting varying from less than 12 hours to as much as 19 hours daily, depending on geographical location.

Feel exhausted during Ramadan?

Suhoor, the pre-dawn meal, should be nutritious enough to provide sustained energy until iftar. Some individuals opt for snacks after iftar to curb their hunger, often neglecting suhoor and enduring hunger until the next iftar.

In a discussion with HT Lifestyle, Prachi Chandra, Lead Clinical Nutritionist at Sakra World Hospital in Bengaluru, emphasized, “It is crucial to eat during suhoor, ideally just before the fasting period begins. Eating late at night or skipping suhoor can lead to significant issues such as low blood sugar, dizziness, and dehydration the following day. Selecting appropriate foods is essential for maintaining energy throughout the fast.”

Best meal ideas for Suhoor

Prachi Chandra suggests several meal options to consider when planning your suhoor:

1. A generous serving of millet porridge with milk or soy milk, accompanied by a handful of unsalted nuts and one seasonal fruit.

2. Wheat or oat-based cereals served with milk, a handful of unsalted seeds, and one seasonal fruit.

3. Multigrain or brown bread slices paired with scrambled eggs, a cheese omelette, or steamed chicken sausage, along with a bowl of mixed cut fruits.

4. Traditional tiffin items such as multigrain idli-dosa or seviyan, served with sambhar or chutney, and cooked sprouts alongside eggs or unsalted nuts.

5. Stuffed paratha (with paneer or soy) served with curd or yogurt and a bowl of cut fruits.
