Break the fast with dates/figs or fruit juices as they are good sources of simple sugars.
Soup and porridge along with dates, milk and tea are the best options for Iftar as they are fairly light and prepare the stomach for dinner.
Do not indulge in an unbalanced diet with too many servings of sherbets and sweets with added sugar as it is very unhealthy.
Do not drink too much water immediately after Iftar as it can contribute to fatigue and stomach pain.
Eating a fruit or nuts after Iftar is recommended. Half a glass of fruit juice can substitute a fruit.
Sweet desserts are not recommended as they make the individual feel hungry after a while.
Avoid heavy meals for Iftar to prevent extra load on the digestive system. If planning a dinner, it should be consumed at least 2 hours after Iftar and should be very light.
