Nutritionist Lama Al Naeli with insights on how to combat nutrition mistakes this Holy Month.

Dubai, May 1, 2017 – This year, the holy month of Ramadan falls at the beginning of summer, starting end of May and celebrating Eid al Fitr by end of June. When fasting during extreme weather conditions, the human body does not retain the necessary liquids, which is why we need to drink healthy drinks. Retaining maximum nutrition is the thinking behind the design of Kenwood’s products, the Blend Xtract and PureJuice ranges, and in line with their Fresh Thinking campaign in advocacy for health and wellness. By substituting drinks such as tea, coffees and sodas with drinks like fresh juices or chilled smoothies, Muslims can combat the heat and avoid dehydration. 

Fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in water and fiber, which means the nutrients remain in our bodies for a long time and reduce thirst – especially if juiced into unsweetened drinks. Created to break down the cell walls of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, the Kenwood machines release the vitamins, minerals and enzymes inside. Nothing gets wasted and all the good ingredients remain in your juice! Since ingredients are blended and juiced, these fresh juices offer lots more nutrients than you could get in just one sitting

Nutritionist Lama Al Naeli, Kenwood Ambassador and founder of the Wellness by Design clinic, maintains that a diet containing fresh juices has unparalleled benefits: ‘This system works on removing bad fats from your body, which in turn reduces fatigue, laziness, inactivity. It facilitates the body to absorb the necessary vitamins easily and protects the body from diseases’.  

The PureJuice range (AED 1,099 – AED 1,299) is Kenwood’s new Slow Press Juicer, which is an effortless way to engage in a healthier lifestyle through consuming 100% natural juice. By slowly crushing ingredients the PureJuice can extract up to 84% of juice and retains maximum taste, colour and nutrition. 

Kenwood’s Blend Xtract range (AED 149 – AED 195), on the other hand, is a simple to use, easy to clean and compact for your countertop. The blenders allow you to instantly prepare delicious, nutrient-rich smoothies, drinks, soups or dips with premium-quality ingredients to fuel your body.
