Gesundheit » Was man beim Fastenbrechen beachten sollte

Ein guter Artikel, was man beim Fastenbrechen beachten sollte, da leider viele dazu neigen, zu Iftar (Fastenbrechen) und Sahar (letzte Mahlzeit vor Fastenbeginn) zuviel zu essen. Leider ist er auf Englisch.

Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is when Muslims across the world fast during the hours of daylight. Ramadan is much more than abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs during the daylight hours. It is a time to purify the soul, refocus attention on God, and practice self-sacrifice.


This month provides an opportunity for Muslims to get closer to God.

"Every action of the son of Adam is given manifold reward, each good deed receiving then times its like, up to seven hundred times. Allah the Most High said, 'Except for fasting, for it is for Me and I will give recompense for it, he leaves off his desires and his food for Me.' for the fasting person there are two times of joy; a time when he breaks his fast and a time of joy when he meets his Lord, and the smell coming from the mouth of the fasting person is better with Allah than the smell of musk." [al-Bukhaaree]

Apart from strengthening the willpower and kicking the bad habits such as lying and cheating, backbiting and being impolite, fasting also helps regulate the body mechanism. By reducing the three daily meals to two, it helps the stomach and other organs in the gastrointestinal tract to rest. It also helps regulate blood lipid levels, reduce extra weight, excrete the poisons from the body and control blood pressure levels. There are psychological effects of fasting as well.

Many individuals, however, ruin all their efforts by overeating during Sahari and Iftar.

While many consider constipation, fatigue, aggressiveness, reduced vision, dizziness, low blood pressure, headaches, loss of concentration, tremor, palpation and muscular cramps as the complications of fasting, these are all secondary to the bad diet many adopt during Ramadan.

An appropriate diet for Ramadan should include all the five food groups -- fruit, vegetables, meat/chicken/fish, bread/cereals and dairy products-- but in a way to prevent any weight gain or loss. Obese individuals, however, can lose some of their extra weight through following a low calorie diet.

Ich meine allerdings, auch Normalgewichtigen schadet es nicht, ein paar Pfunde "abzugeben". Bei Untergewichtigen ist es etwas anderes, aber davon gibt es in den Industrieländern wohl weitaus weniger als von denen, die zuviel auf den Hüften haben.
Sahar (oder Sahari, wie der vermutlich pakistanisch-stämmige Autor meint) ist in diesen Breiten etwas arg früh, ist auch "nur" mustahabb (erwünscht, aber nicht verpflichtend).
