The holy month of Ramadan is going on and during this time Muslims all over the world keep fast for 30 days. People who believe in the religion of Islam eat food during Sehri in the morning during Ramadan and then break the fast in the evening after fasting for the whole day. But, do you know that during Ramzan people use only dates to break their fast? There is a religious reason as well as a scientific reason behind breaking the fast with dates.
A religious reason for breaking the fast with dates
There is a religious reason behind breaking the fast by eating dates in Ramzan. It is said that dates are considered Sunnah in Islam and it was the favorite fruit of Prophet Hazrat Mohammad. He used to break his fast by eating dates. That's why even today the fast is broken by eating dates.
The scientific reason for breaking the fast with dates
There is also a scientific reason behind using dates to break the fast. Doctors say that by eating dates, the body gets instant energy because fasting throughout the day reduces the energy level and hence dates are eaten. Apart from this, dates are also very good for digestion.
These nutrients are available by eating dates
Dates contain a lot of fiber, iron, calories, protein, vitamins, and copper, which is very important for giving strength to the body. Doctors say that by eating only dates, the body can get as much fiber as it needs in the whole day. The body gets a lot of energy from eating dates, which removes the weakness caused by fasting for the whole day.
