Ramadan Kareem to
all Ramadan families out there, especially Mothers who are doing their best to
ensure their families have the best options during this fasting period.
Fasting is very
important as it is one of the pillars of Islam and it increases devotion to
God. The essence of fasting is summed up in one word, ‘Taqwa’ which is a
recurring theme in the Qur’an and a paramount Islamic value. It is both an
attitude and a process.
The role of a
mother to a person is very important. It remains a paramount duty for Mothers
to ensure that the season of fast is provided with necessary meals for Sahur
and Iftar, whether appetizers, desserts or sides such as smoothies and salads.
For this season
of Ramadan, it is essential to always include a generous amount of fruits to
your diet. According to research, fruits help stabilize the digestive system
and reduce the chances of constipation. The Holy Quran also prescribes Dates
(also known as Dabino) as a good fruit option when breaking a fast.
Most times, when
we think of buying fruits, the most common challenge in mind is how to preserve
it. This is because fruits are fresh and should always remain fresh. To
relieve you and your family the stress of eating stale fruits, here is one sure
way to preserve fruits:
To retain the
freshness, place fruits in an air-tight plastic bag and store in the
refrigerator. Consume within 3-4 days. Please do not freeze and avoid
fluctuation in temperature, as much as possible.
So, caring
mothers, show more love to your families with plenty of fruits. Just remember
that whatever you decide to feed your family, fruits should not be left out. A
healthy family is a happy family. As you fast this Ramadan, ensure you stay on
the healthier side of life.
