You will find these nutrition tips useful.
When about to fast:
– stay hydrated before fasting (drink plenty of fluids which can be water, fruit juices, and smoothies).
– consider foods high in protein and fiber as they keep one fuller for a long time. Fiber-rich foods include fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while protein foods are eggs, dairy products, nuts, etc.
When about to break the fast:
– introduce foods slowly and do not overeat in order not to overwhelm the digestive system.
– start with fluids ( can be water, fruit juices, etc).
– avoid foods that are high to digest.
