One of our goals as parents was to help our children understand that Ramadan is the month of Quran & charity. So ever since we’ve had our Ramadan calendar, we’ve used each day to put 1 coin per child, so they can get into the habit of giving sadaqah daily inshaAllah!

We may have adjusted to fasting by now…but I’m sure many of your digestive systems have not 👀….and even if your embarrassed to admit it, you may have experienced at least one of these digestive concerns. As common as they may be, it actually shouldn’t be a normal part of your Ramadan! The biggest culprit is the way you are eating and making small changes can help alleviate digestive issues.
Swipe through for common issues and how to address them. You can also read through the full blogpost on TheHealthyMuslims.com.

How to repurpose your Chapli Meatloaf so it’s a filling suhoor meal! I always have a bag of whole grain sprouted bread in the freezer so it’s easy to while together a healthy filling sandwich. Let me know if you try it out! Also - for those of us who have never had meatloaf before, it is a pretty foreign concept trying to figure out how to eat it 😅 #ramadan #healthyramadan #ramadan2023 #happyramadan #ramadanmubarak #iftar #iftari #suhoor #sehri #mealprep #mealideas #halal #healthyandhalal #hijabi #muslimah #dietitian
I always wanted to eat meatloaf as a child…but when I grew up and realized what it was…I made my own version: Chapli Meatloaf! Get this and other delicious, flavourful recipes when you order The Healthy Ramadan Guide!

It can be challenging trying to make healthy choices especially when you are invited to a delicious iftar! Let’s be honest, while the choices are plenty, almost every time veggies are non-existent! The past 2 days we broke our fast with our family and I took roasted veggies the first day and salad the other and guess what, everyone loved it and finished it completely! It’s a great way to make healthy choices without giving up your cultural foods because you are simply adding veggies to your plate instead of focusing on restriction. #healthyramadan #ramadan #happyramadan #iftar #suhoor #healthymuslims #healthyeating #mealprep #torontomuslims #halal #healthyandhalal #halalfoodie
[PREGNANCY AND FASTING]
While I feel confident giving Breastfeeding and fasting recommendations, I cannot from a professional standpoint give pregnancy recommendations through the internet- especially since each pregnancy is so unique and the warning signs are not clear. Now once again - that’s not to say that there aren’t women who have been able to do it successfully, but this is a decision you have to come to with your healthcare provider! #ramadan #ramadankareem #ramadanmubarak #healthyramadan #pregnancy #pregnantmoms #muslimmoms #muslimmotherhood #motherhood #suhoor #iftar #hijabi #torontomuslims #muslimsoftheworld
Every single year I share evidence-based recommendations on how to successfully fast and breastfeed, I always get several people very upset that I do this. So leaving this disclaimer here 🥰.
The reality is that there are many women that fast while breastfeeding - and so my recommendations and support is for those women, because frankly there is very limited information on how someone can do this properly. I am a Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist and so all my recommendations come from evidence-based information.
My intention or recommendations are in no way stating that you MUST fast - if you watch my full video on YouTube you will see how much emphasis I put on the health of the baby, the health of the mom, and knowing when it is absolutely unsafe to fast while breastfeeding. #ramadan #ramadanmubarak #ramadankareem #fasting #muslimmoms #muslimmotherhood #suhoor #iftar #muslimsoftheworld #hijabi
Can you safely breastfeed and fast in Ramadan? For the past 8 years I have been putting together the science + practical tips so that moms can do it safely. I’m super excited to put all of this info into an in-depth video - full YouTube video can be found in my stories or link in bio.
[Disclaimer: this is to support moms who do decide to fast while breastfeeding, not to tell anyone that they have to] #ramadan #breastfeeding #fasting #ramadankareem #happyramadan #ramadanmubarak #iftar #suhoor #dietitian #muslimmom

[SAMOSA REMINDER INCOMING]….
Who was waiting for this one 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏾♀️🙋🏽🙋🏻
Here`s my yearly samosa reminder...but I promise I`m not being the Samosa Police! Hear me out... is the essence of Ramadan really about fasting only to overeating fried foods for 30 days straight? You essentially end up eating more calories this month than any other month...WHILE FASTING.
I most likely underestimated here when it comes to fried food, there are usually also a couple of spring rolls, pakoras and other fried goodies. So by the end of the month, most people have had well over 100 fried items. The excessive amounts of fried foods after a day of fasting are often the reason you are feeling low in energy, thirsty, and unable to be your most productive self in the most blessed month of the year.
Now I`m not telling you to completely cut it out if it`s important to your family traditions, but just be a bit more mindful of the fried foods you eat. Do we really need to be breaking samosa-eating records this Ramadan?! If you eat 1 fried item (choose your fave for highest satisfaction) everyday, you will have still had 30 items by the end of the month!
Tag a samosa lover that needs this reminder!

[HOW TO DRINK ENOUGH WATER DURING RAMADAN]
save + tag to stay hydrated!
If you`re experiencing any symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, cramps, low energy while fasting....it may be because you haven`t been drinking enough water since Ramadan started!
The truth is, you should be drinking the same amount of water in a fasting day as you would on a regular, non-fasting day. It may sound challenging to some, but it just requires a bit of planning!
In the infographic, you can see exactly how to spread out your water intake. All of a sudden, it feels a lot more doable! You can save this and have a peek so you don`t forget. I also feel like sometimes the days blend into each other,especially if you`re staying up late, so breaking it up helps make sure that each day you`re drinking enough water.
Three things to remember:
1. Each individuals water requirements differ. Breastfeeding mamas in particular should be drinking more water. Body size and age also impacts how much your body needs.
2. Avoid sugary drinks and try to stick to water, lemon water, and herbal teas.
3. Eat high-water content fruits and veggies like cucumber, watermelon, berries, etc to help with your hydration goals.
Tag a friend who can use a boost with more water this Ramadan!

[PHOTO DUMP] Over 10 years ago, I was doing my bachelors in Nutrition at what was then Ryerson University (@torontomet), and to be honest, there were very few people in the field that looked like me. While I was studying nutrition, I felt there was a huge cultural gap…I was learning about all things nutrition but the food looked nothing like what I ate at home.
It was then I knew I wanted to not only help people transform the way they eat, but make sure they don’t have to give up their cultural food. It was such an honour to come back to that same University and speak about having a healthy Ramadan with @strongerwithbelal - my partner in many aspects (business partner, co-author of our Ramadan book, and oh ya, husband too!)
Alhumdulilah!
