Why it is important to choose food wisely during Ramadan?
It is very important to choose food wisely during Ramadan, as generally, after a period of long fasting you are tempted to eat foods which are high in calorie, such as sweets and fried items. Moreover, after such a long period of fasting, your body stands a chance of getting dehydrated. Therefore you should be sure to have enough fluid to rehydrate it. And, the best choice is water.
Eat right stay bright
