Iftar meals are essential for maintaining a sufficient, balanced diet during #Ramadan, when many fast for more than 12 hours. Check out the suggestions below to make your iftar meals more balanced.
At least 1-2 glasses of water should be consumed. This will keep you hydrated and offer your body with the fluids it requires.
Ramadan drinks should be avoided because they are high in sugar and calories.

100g (1/4 cup) sugar
250ml (1 cup) water, divided into 2
160ml (⅔ cup) fresh lemon juice
15g (½ cup) mint leaves 420g
(3 cups) ice cubes
Serve yourself a bowl of soup
Iftar should begin with soup to refill the fluids lost during the day while fasting.
It also assists in the maintenance of a healthy digestive system by preparing your digestive system for the remainder of the meal.
If you don’t want to consume a hot soup during the summer, cold soups are a perfect substitute.
