A Happy Eid With Many Benefits

By  Health & Science Staff

When juxtaposing words like Ramadan, Eid and health, the first link that comes to mind is food. However, Ramadan is much more than deprivation from food. In Ramadan, we try to bring out the best in ourselves and to prove that we can control our food consumption, our irritability, and any other cravings we may experience.

As we bid the noble month of Ramadan farewell and receive the Eid holidays with anticipation, we are able to find happiness in the celebrations and a world recipe for health as Najma Mohamed illustrates in her article, Looking Back: A Ramadan Recipe for World Health.

Looking forward to the Eid, the experience can be made complete by involving all our senses in the enjoyment. Studies show that people learn and experience more when they engage all their senses in what they are doing. Karima Burns releases a whiff of Eid in the Scent of the Holidays: The Science Behind Eid in The Western World.

Nevertheless, before Eid we remind you of the same advice we always give: go easy on the food. Inspiration can be gained from Hwaa Irfan’s article on yoghurt, The Health Benefits of Yogurt For Ramadan and Eid, which provides a healthy alternative for traditional Eid snacks.
