It is natural for the first 2 to 3 days to be the toughest for the child who is attempting to fast for the very first time. For a nutrition perspective, here are some ideas for parents to ease their children’s fasting experience: Early to bed and early to rise. Proper sleep helps kids: √ Wake up on time for sahur √ Keep their energy levels up √ Stay alert and attentive in class Give your child a good start to the day at sahur with: √ A high energy diet. Milk and eggs are a great energy booster. √ A glass of delicious Meal Shake packed with vitamins and minerals. √ Healthy juices and drinks to keep them hydrated all day. √ Include fruits and vegetables as important sources of fibre. Involve your children for iftar preparations: √ Make it enjoyable for a great bonding experience. √ Cook up their favourite dishes and desserts. √ Add a healthy twist to recipes (Tip: use Meal Shakes for great-tasting ice cream and creamy shakes!).
Encourage healthy eating at iftar: √ Dates and water – a simple way to break fast. √ Home-made soups and stews are healthy and rich in minerals and salts. √ Avoid refined, oily foods and over-eating.
The Shaklee Meal Shake √ Helps keep little tummies full for longer. √ Perfect for active, growing children and teens. √ Tastes great when added to shakes, creamy soups, cakes and ice cream! √ Mommies and daddies will love it too!
As your children feel a great sense of accomplishment through Ramadhan fasting, you can be sure they also pick up important lessons on eating well by making wise food choices and consuming nutrient-rich meals.
