Responding to a question on how an adult should fast while fasting or what kind of food should be consumed during fasting, Golam Mawla, a professor at the Institute of Nutrition and Food Science, Dhaka University, told the BBC to eat easily digestible food as much as possible Will.
However, according to him, you can't eat too much.
Nutritionist Professor Nazma Shaheen says there is no need for a separate diet for fasting. However, you have to eat more watery foods, but pure water and fruit juice are more useful.
"It is also important to know where the iftar is being collected from. In this case, home-made food is the safest. Iftar fried in too much oil can be harmful to the body," he said.
Golam Mawla and Nazma Shaheen both think it is better to avoid oily food and fried burns. Rather, fruits and dates will provide nutrition and energy to the body.
