As Ramadan 2024 approaches, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has released seven essential guidelines to ensure a healthy and spiritual month.

Balanced Diet

Consume a balanced diet and avoid oily food. Ensure your diet is nutritious and hydrating post fasting.

Limit Salt

Be mindful of your salt intake. Add flavours with various herbs for a nourishing meal.

Stay Active

Keep exercising throughout Ramadan. This aids digestion and keeps the body fit.

No Tobacco

Healthy Cooking

Opt for steaming or baking food instead of frying. This retains nutrition.
