Taking Medicine Until I Changed My Iftar Plate. πŸ₯➡️🌿




Fasting is not just about staying hungry from dawn to sunset.


It’s about resetting your body, calming your mind, and strengthening your soul.


But here’s the truth most of us quietly ignore…

During Ramadan, we often become less moderate with food — not more.


We fast all day… then overload our plates at Iftar. And unknowingly, we harm the very body we are trying to purify.


If you truly want fasting to heal you — physically, mentally, and spiritually — what you eat at Iftar and Sahri matters more than you think.


🌿 The Hidden Science Behind Fasting

There is a powerful biological process called autophagy — the body’s natural detox and cellular repair system.


When we fast properly, our body:


Clears damaged cells


Releases stored toxins


Repairs tissues


Builds healthier new cells


But here’s the key…


If we break our fast with heavy fried food, sugar syrup drinks, and processed snacks — we interrupt that healing process.


Fasting becomes exhaustion instead of restoration.


⚠️ Why Many People Feel Worse During Ramadan


If you struggle with:


Diabetes


Acidity or ulcers


High blood pressure


Thyroid imbalance


IBS or digestive problems


…it’s not always the fast that causes discomfort.

Often, it’s how we eat at Iftar and Sahri.


Many people could reduce dependency on medications during Ramadan — if they eat correctly and moderately.


Fasting done right can be therapeutic.


Fasting done wrong can increase inflammation.


πŸ₯— What To Eat at Iftar (The Healing Way)


πŸ’§ Step 1: Rehydrate Gently


Start with:

A glass of water


Soaked tulsi seeds, tokma, or chia seeds

These help hydration and digestion.


🍎 Step 2: Natural Energy from Fruits


Instead of fried snacks, choose:


Pomegranate juice


Pineapple juice


Bael (wood apple) drink


Banana


Papaya


Guava


Apple


Fruits: ✔ Restore energy naturally


✔ Prevent dehydration


✔ Support digestion


✔ Reduce acidity


πŸ₯™ Step 3: Smart Protein & Fiber


Boiled or soaked chickpeas mixed with:


Tomato


Carrot


Raw papaya


Onion


Chili


Chickpeas are:


High in protein


High in fiber


Low glycemic


Low calorie


Heart-friendly


They support fat loss without weakness.


πŸ₯› Step 4: Nut Milk for Strength


Soak:


20 almonds


20 black raisins


Blend with water before Iftar.


This supports:

Heart health


Omega-3 needs


Hemoglobin levels


Stable energy


After 30 minutes, you can eat light greens or vegetables.


πŸŒ… What To Eat at Sahri


Your Sahri plate should look like this:


πŸ₯¦ 50% vegetables


🍚 30% rice (preferably red rice)


πŸ₯š 10% protein (fish, egg, or meat)


🌱 10% mung beans


If you have stomach issues:


Try red rice panta bhat


Vegetable soup


Light mung-based meals


Keep it simple. Keep it balanced.


❌ What To Avoid During Fasting

Let’s be honest…


Ramadan is not meant to be a fried food festival.

Avoid:


Deep fried snacks (beguni, aluchop, shingara, rolls)


Jilapi and sugar syrup sweets


Heavy haleem


Biryani overload


Packaged sugary drinks


Excess wheat-based and processed food


Excess milk + sugar combinations


These spike blood sugar, increase acidity, and burden the liver.


They cancel out the benefits of fasting.


🧠 The Real Philosophy of Fasting


Fasting is not about eating more at night.

It is about discipline.


Not just physical discipline —


but mental clarity and spiritual purification.


When we overeat, overspend, and overconsume during Ramadan, we lose the essence of it.


True fasting:


Reduces inflammation


Strengthens immunity


Improves insulin sensitivity


Builds cellular health


Teaches self-control


🌟 Make This Ramadan Different

Instead of asking: “What delicious fried food will I eat tonight?”


Ask: “How can I heal my body tonight?”

Your future self will thank you.


Your energy will feel lighter. Your mind will feel clearer. Your sleep will improve. Your body will cooperate with you — not fight against you.


Fasting is a gift.


Treat your Iftar and Sahri like medicine, not celebration overload.


May your Ramadan bring you:


Stronger health


Calmer thoughts


Cleaner habits


And a body that works for you, not against you.


You've got 30 days to treat your body like the temple it is. Let's make this Ramadan the one where you feel the difference.


Your body is listening to you. If you feed it oil and sugar, it will respond with disease. If you feed it fiber, protein, and antioxidants, it will respond with strength.


What’s on your Iftar menu tonight? Let’s inspire each other in the comments to eat cleaner. ❤️

The consequences of not paying Zakat!

  The consequences of not paying Zakat! All the decrees of Allah are for the universal welfare of man. Every command and prohibition of Allah Ta'ala has two types of results or consequences. An afterlife will be found and that is the key. The consequences of disobeying His orders are still felt today, though many times people do not realize it. Consequences of not paying Zakat: First of all: Since the wealth of the rich has the right of the poor and destitute, if Zakat is not paidProperty remains the property of others.

Not only that, the people who do not pay Zakat or Sadaqah, Allah sends worldly punishments like drought and famine on them. The Prophet (PBUH) said, "If a community refuses to give Zakat, Allah punishes them with famine" (Tabarani). Secondly:Rasulullah (SAW) said, "Whoever gives zakat in the hope of reward, there...
