As Ramadan-ul-Mubarak approaches, we at Family Matab & Hijama Center wish you a blessed and healthy month of fasting. Roza is a spiritual journey that also benefits the body when paired with mindful eating and Sunnah-inspired practices. Here’s how to maintain your immunity, energy, and spirituality until the last Roza, backed by science and tradition.

1. Suhoor – Start with Nutrient-Dense Foods

• What to Eat: Opt for complex carbs like oats, whole grains, or barley (a Sunnah food), paired with dates, yogurt, and nuts. Research shows slow-digesting foods sustain energy longer during fasting (Source: Journal of Nutrition).

• Hydration: Drink 2-3 glasses of water and herbal infusions like fennel or mint tea (Unani favorites) to prevent dehydration.

• Avoid: Salty or fried foods – they increase thirst and strain digestion.

2. Iftar – Break Your Fast Gently

• Sunnah Tip: Start with 3-5 dates and water, as the Prophet (PBUH) did. Dates are rich in natural sugars and potassium, restoring energy fast (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition).

• Follow Up: Enjoy a light meal with lean proteins (chicken, lentils), veggies, and soups. Avoid heavy, oily dishes to protect your stomach after hours of fasting.

• Herbal Boost: Sip on a warm Unani concoction like ginger-honey tea to aid digestion and immunity.

3. Stay Active with Moderation

• Light exercise like walking or Taraweeh prayers improves circulation and keeps energy levels stable (British Journal of Sports Medicine). Avoid intense workouts during fasting hours to preserve strength.

4. Hijama – Revitalize Your Body

• Sunnah-based wet cupping during Ramadan (non-fasting hours) can detoxify the body, boost immunity, and relieve fatigue. Book a session with us to align with the Sunnah days for maximum blessings!

5. Immunity & Spirituality Till the Last Roza

• Include immune-boosting foods like honey, black seed (Kalonji), and citrus fruits – staples in Unani medicine backed by studies for their antioxidant power (Phytotherapy Research).

• Recite duas, stay hydrated between Iftar and Suhoor, and rest well to keep your spirit and body strong.
