Yusuf Taiyoob Safia Dates
Fasting in Ramadan can be exhausting accompanied by headaches, low blood sugar levels, lethargy, hypertension and fatigue. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, used to break his fast by eating one to three dates at sunset. It has been scientifically proven that the best way to break a fast is with dates as they are rich in carbohydrates, fiber, sugar, magnesium and potassium.
Dates raise blood sugar levels almost immediately. Their high carbohydrate content slows down the digestion process leaving you fuller for longer. It is advised to have soup or salad right after the dates to give your body some room to get started, and it is also best to wait for 20 minutes before having your meal.
Don’t forget to get your Yusuf Taiyoob Safia Dates to help you stay fit and healthy throughout the Ramadan.
