Without a healthy gut, the health benefits of fasting will not be maximized.
Let’s continue to consume balanced nutritious foods, especially those that can make your gut healthy.
1. Water
Try to drink enough water when breaking the fast and eating sahur, and fulfill your body’s fluid needs with water-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, soups, and broths. Adequate hydration helps with nutrient absorption, toxin removal, and prevents constipation during fasting. Use eSpring TM so that your drinking water is truly healthy because it is free of contaminants and rich in minerals.
2. Protein
Protein helps create a feeling of fullness for longer and is the main ingredient for the regeneration of intestinal cells. Include various sources of protein in your iftar and sahur menus, such as lean meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, tofu, nuts, and lentils. Take Nutrilite TM Hi-Protein if necessary, which provides the 9 essential amino acids the body needs.
3. Probiotics
Probiotics support optimal nutrient absorption during fasting. In addition, a healthy gut microbiome supported by probiotics can improve mood and cognitive function, effects that enhance physiological recovery during fasting. If necessary, drink Nutrilite™ Fruit Flavored Drink containing Lactobacillus* when breaking the fast and eating sahur which provides 23 billion** ( Colony Forming Unit) of good bacteria per serving.
4. Fiber
To keep digestion running smoothly during fasting while also “feeding” the good bacteria in the digestive tract. Include healthy fats in your iftar and sahur menus. Limit saturated and trans fats found in fried foods, processed snacks, and fatty cuts of meat, as they can increase the risk of heart disease and other health problems.
If daily intake is not enough, add Nutrilite TM Hi-Fiber Powder which contains soluble and insoluble fiber.
