The seminar, featuring Prof. Dr. Medhat El-Arabi and Dr. Amal Abdel-Shafi, covered essential health guidelines for fasting, such as starting Iftar with dates and water, focusing on complex carbohydrates and fiber during Suhoor, and ensuring adequate water intake. Key advice included:
Balanced Meals: Including protein (poultry, meat, fish) and healthy fats (olive oil, nuts).
Hydration: Drinking plenty of water between Iftar and Suhoor while avoiding sugary and caffeinated drinks.
Digestive Health: Eating fiber-rich foods like fruits and vegetables to improve digestion and maintain satiety.
Suhoor: Consuming slow-digesting carbs like oats or whole-grain bread with protein sources like yogurt.
The event concluded by emphasizing the importance of such awareness sessions in promoting a health culture among students and staff during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
