The festive season of Ramadan brings changes in your lifestyle. Experts say, if not taken proper care of, these can harm your health. To make the transition for your body easier, it is very significant to maintain a healthy diet and avoid imbalance of nutrients during the month of fasting.
Khaled Diab, Regional General Manager of QNET MENA told Emirates Business, “Your health is your wealth and the key to a fulfilling and meaningful life this holy month of Ramadan.” The modern lifestyles invariably result in an over-dependence
on processed foods with limited nutrient density. “This creates a severe imbalance in your body’s regenerative capabilities. When the body cannot regenerate effectively, a nutrient crisis will sooner or later lead to a host of chronic health problems,” added Diab.
Rohit Rattan, Cluster Director of Sales and Marketing, Emirates Grand Hotel, said: “We are looking forward to welcome our guests to celebrate Ramadan with an opportunity to reflect and a time to strengthen ties with families and friends. While we take social responsibility to focus on initiatives that preserve our culture and heritage, we also encourage our guests to lead a healthier lifestyle especially in this Holy Month of Ramadan.”
Director of Sales and Marketing at Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi: Paula Tannous, “Ramadan is a very special month for us because it allows us to embrace the moment with our guests, families and friends. This Ramadan at Yas Viceroy we are delighted to offer our special “Emirati Ouzi” take-away, which removes the stress from Iftar preparation and allows you to enjoy your gathering.”
To prepare your body gradually, start eating in moderate quantities. Conditioning yourself will make it easier to fast, opine experts.
Another way to stay healthy is adding additional nutrients to your diet. “One can also use some healthy supplements like EDG3, Kenta and Berry Xtreme and Alloe V each respectively provide a revolutionary immune booster. The great thing about these supplements is they are lifestyle friendly. They come in convenient daily sachets and great natural flavours. People can also select and combine supplements based on their nutritional needs,” Diab said.
