Benefits of taking rich protein and fatty food recipes in Sehri during Summer Ramadan

Summer Sehri During Ramadan Kareem, Muslims abstain from drinking or eating anything orally from dawn to the evening prayer. The fasting period keeps on changing depending upon the time in the year when this month starts. During winter the fasting period is about 8-10 hours at maximum. Less desire of water and this short time period coupled with long nights to take rest make the winter fasts easier than the rest. During spring and autumn, the fasting period is about 10-12 hours, making fast still less challenging. But, the long, hot, dry and sweating fasts of summer are really a great big challenge. The fasting period varies between 14-17 hours with short nights to prepare for the next one.

In this scenario, the diet and nutrition during Ramadan, plays a great big role in making it easier and really beneficial for the fast observers. You have lesser time to prepare the Sehri and have to make it a sufficient one for such long period of time. Foods that produce filling effect in the stomach for longer period of time, expanding the hunger toleration span are the ideal ones for summer Ramdan. Usually, saturated carbohydrates and proteins take most long to get digested and stay in the stomach and gut for most of the time.

So, half-fried eggs, or omelet with a good amount of onion, cabbage, tomato and green chili serve best as sauce. Coupling them with the twisted loafs having saturated fats filled in the twists and then fried in the fats as well (Ghee or Bal Wale Parathe), can keep you easy for about 10 hours. Eating a couple of dates will help fight starving and heart burn. Similarly, meat, milk and other protein and carbohydrate rich foods will also help.
