The pious month of Ramadan is here, and people fast from dawn to dusk, abstaining from food and drink to offer prayers to the Almighty. Popular television actress Hina Khan urged everyone to maintain a “healthy and balanced” diet during Ramadan and avoid overeating. She stressed that eating heavy, fried, and sugary food after hours of fasting can cause weight gain, along with digestive issues and fatigue.

Hina Khan on healthy diet during Ramadan


Taking to her official Instagram Stories, the Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actress wrote, “It is a very common practice to overeat during iftar. I know after hours of fasting, the body often craves quick energy, leading to high consumption of particularly heavy, fried, and sugary khaana, which eventually leads to weight gain, digestive issues, fatigue..(sic).”



Hina advised everyone to eat wisely during this holy month by breaking the fast gradually and taking breaks in between meals. She further asked everyone to focus on their fibre and protein intake. “Let’s just not indulge in these cultural habits and eat wisely. Break the fast gradually, chew slowly, take breaks, and hydrate smartly. Prioritise fibre and protein in your diet. Once in a while is ok, but don't make it a habit..,” added Hina.

At the end of the post, she requested everyone to “Keep it healthy and balanced. Don’t shock your body.”
