Tips for a healthy Eid-ul-Azha

Eid-ul-Azha is an important and memorable event which Muslims of the world celebrate. It is important to remain healthy in the time when there is abundance of meat. The following tips will help you to ensure better health.

Eat less

Take small quantities of food instead of piling plates with unhealthy food. Limit the quantity of desserts as well. Too much sweet does not let you remain healthy.

Do not eat too much meat

Red meat (beef, lamb and mutton) is high in cholesterol. Do not indulge in excessive intake of red meat as they will harm your health in long-term and your heart can get adversely affected. Also avoid the fatty part of meat to maintain your health.

Take a walk

Taking a walk will enable your stomach to work properly and will make it able to digest food.

Fix time of meal

One of the abuses we find in our society is lack of routine in eating food specially on the occasion like Eid. You should keep your routine intact even during Eid to be healthy.

Take a break between meals

The delay between two consecutive meals should not be less than 6 hours at least. It allows the food to be digested properly.

Eat more vegetables

To avoid constipation ample consumption of fruits and vegetables alongside meat is highly recommended. Include plenty of salads when having large meals of meat.
