Healthy Ghabka Ghabka is a delightful Ramadan food habit.
Let us make it a healthy habit, though.
It is a snack that comes between the
two main meals: Eftar and Sohoor
Avoid heavy Ghabka meal . Especially, when it
contains high calories intake of sugar, fat and
pastries, which cause indigestion while fasting,
resulting in overweight during the holy month of
Ramadan. Charity :do not forget to pay a part of the cost of this
food to poor.

Steps of Smart ( Inelegant) Fasting
Reduce fasting time following the prophetMohammad rituals and habits. Early breakfast( Eftar).
Importance of having (Sohoor)meal.
Late ( Sohoor)meal.
By following the above steps , we can tolerate thefeeling hungry, tired, or lack of concentrationduring fasting, especially at the late hours of thefast, when the blood glucose level is at theminimal levels.
Therefore, Late Shoor is very important to
preserve energy , for the next day of fasting.
