Ramadan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, where over 1 billion Muslims around the world reflect, feel more connected to faith, and purify their body & mind through the practice of fasting or refraining from eating during daylight hours. At Organic Honey Store, we believe that choosing the right foods during Ramadan is crucial, and we have some tips for you to enjoy a healthy Ramadan.
To support the body and mind during this time, it is important to drink plenty of water, eat slowly and regularly, do mild exercise, avoid salty and fatty foods, and consume a lean, low GI diet that provides long-lasting energy and supports healthy digestion. At Organic Honey Store, we offer a wide range of organic honey, including manuka honey, clover honey, and other varieties that can be incorporated into your diet during Ramadan.
Drinking 1.5 – 2L of water every day before breaking the fast is essential for optimal functioning, and avoiding drinks high in sugar and calories is recommended. At Organic Honey Store, we also offer a range of honey-based drinks that are low in calories and high in nutrients.
Eating slowly and regularly helps avoid overeating and gastric upsets, and frequent smaller healthy meals are advised. Our organic honey can be used as a natural sweetener in meals and snacks, and manuka honey, in particular, is known for its medicinal properties.
Mild exercise like a walk after sunset and before sunrise can help combat fatigue. At Organic Honey Store, we offer manuka honey-based energy bars and snacks that are perfect for the on-the-go.
Salty and fatty foods containing saturated fat, sodium, and sugar should be avoided whenever possible, while grilled lean meats, steamed green vegetables, wholemeal products, and honey are part of a low GI diet and support healthy digestion and energy levels. Our organic honey is perfect for adding flavor to healthy meals and snacks.
Manuka Honey is categorised as a low-GI food, which provides longer-lasting energy during the day and a greater feeling of fullness. Replacing sugar with pure, organic manuka honey in sweet foods consumed during Ramadan creates a healthier version of favorite desserts. At Organic Honey Store, we offer a range of organic honey-based desserts and treats that are low in sugar and high in flavor.
At Organic Honey Store, we believe that organic honey is a thoughtful and unique gift for friends and family during Ramadan breakfast and Eid, as well as a healthy food to support the body and mind during fasting. Our wide range of organic honey products, including manuka honey, clover honey, and other varieties, are perfect for incorporating into your diet during Ramadan and beyond.
