5 top foods to eat in Brunei during Ramadan

Ramadan is coming! But while it is a time where you have a certain window to eat, you need to understand what is the right food to help you achieve a rewarding Ramadan. Here I have listed 5 foods that will help make you feel healthier throughout the 30 days.

1. Broccoli 

The king of the vegetable. Broccoli is high in fibre, very tasty and packed full of quality nutrients. A great way to have broccoli is with salad. This also benefits controlling your blood sugar levels.

-Cooking instructions: Rinse and wash, then place in boiling water for 10-15 minutes. Soft and crunchy is the texture you want.

2. Watermelons

This fruit can be quenching for the thirst. Watermelon has 90% water so you can hydrate yourself with this colourful fruit. Not only does it taste delicious it contains small amounts of fibre, which is important for digestion.

-Shop at your local side markets to support the local businesses.

3. Sweet potato

For you to be able to control hunger levels you need quality (starchy) complex carbohydrates. These are essential for you to be able to break down glucose slowly for energy. Sweet potatoes are tasty and can be turned into french fries or mash sweet potato.

4. Eggs

Eggs are the perfect cheap protein that can go with almost any meal. Not only are eggs light on the calories, they can make you feel full. They have all 9 essential amino acids the body requires. Most people use eggs in their diet for weight management. 

5 Nuts

Having nuts as a snack can help boost your healthy fats and increase your calories giving you more energy across the next day. Having adequate amounts of nuts daily can control your hunger levels through fasting.

Have a great day
