Therefore, don't let you choose not to eat sahur or only eat a little at dawn. Eat in moderation by choosing a nutritionally balanced diet. Such as those containing carbohydrates, protein, fat, and fiber.
When breaking the fast, avoid overeating and heavy meals. Start by eating sweet foods. Then, don't forget to drink enough water, both at dawn and iftar.
