Superfoods for an Energized Ramadan

Taking care of your immune system is without a doubt one of the most important things to do during the fasting month of Ramadan. Though iftar or breaking the fast is a lot about tasty treats and traditional foods that are mostly served during this special time of the year, it’s essential to keep track of the nutrition in the foods you eat throughout this month.

In addition to consuming balanced meals both during suhoor (the early morning breakfast before one starts fasting) and iftar, your body would benefit from superfoods that can help you maintain your energy levels during your fasting day. Furthermore, these superfoods have been proven to boost your immune system too! Let’s explore the delicious options of superfoods to brighten up your Ramadan meals!

Delightful dates

Though most popular during the month of Ramadan, dates are perfect to have daily throughout the whole year! Not only a delicious sweet treat, dates have tons of health benefits too. Dates are rich in vitamins, such as vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, A1, and C, and minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and zinc, making them superfoods!

Dates are also high in fiber and rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids, carotenoids, and phenolic acid that protect your cells from free radicals. The nutrition profile of dates makes them a mandatory item for your iftar and suhoor menu, and not only because of the age-old tradition.

Tasty almonds

Packed with healthy fats, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, there was no way for almonds not to make it to our list of highly nutritious foods. The energy-boosting vitamins in almonds make this flavorsome superfood a simple go-to snack for iftar, especially when you need to move fast. Almonds are an excellent source of vitamin E, vitamin B, iron, and magnesium which are beneficial for your body! Want to double the nutrition and tastiness? Try combining almonds with dates!

Invigorating bananas

Yes, bananas made it to the list of superfoods too! Though underrated, bananas are a superb source of potassium, fiber, carbohydrate, and vitamin B6. The vitamin B6 in bananas provides a slow release of energy throughout the day. Exactly what you need while fasting! Due to their lower water content, bananas contain more calories and sugar your body can benefit from.

Furthermore, bananas are rich in pectin, which is a soluble fiber that normalizes bowel function, which also has a soothing effect on the gastrointestinal tract. And it gets better! Bananas also contain resistant starch that promotes digestive health through its prebiotic effects.

Tiny wholesome chia seeds 

These tiny black seeds have proven to live up to their status as a superfood. They are rich in nutrients, omega-3 fat and antioxidants, and a source of long-term energy. With all of its carbohydrates being fiber, chia seeds can absorb 10 to 12 times their weight in water. That’s why these seeds offer a slow release of water in your body throughout the day. It makes them simply perfect for a day of fasting.

Have fun filling your fridge with delicious energizing treats that boost your immune system during Ramadan this year! Stay safe and healthy, and have a beautiful month of Ramadan!
