Keeping Fit

Building your body is like taking care of your teeth; you don’t brush your teeth for hours, but you do it everyday. —Gym Trainer

Fasting Tips

Here are some points to keep in mind about eating during this holy month:

• Soda and coffee dehydrate your body, which can also sap your energy. Drinking water, organic herbal teas and probiotic liquids provide energy and hydration. *cough*laialyandchikapappi*cough*
• To get the most out of your food, you need to chew properly and take your time.
• We’re used to drinking while we eat, but that’s not the natural way our digestive system works. Avoid drinking lots of liquids 20-30 minutes before and after your meals as liquids interfere with your ability to properly breakdown food.
• Eat complex carbohydrate foods (such as barley, wheat, oats, semolina, lentils, flour, rice, beans, potatoes and fruit) because they lasts longer making you less hungry.
