ISLAMABAD: As some see in the fasting month of Ramazan an opportunity to lose weight, health experts said the best time to practice sports is in the hours before the breaking of the fast.

Doing sports before iftar will enhance the body’s ability to burn fat by 100 per cent, nutritionist Bushra Badarein told The Jordan Times.

Walking after taraweeh prayer (special evening prayer performed in Ramazan) is also effective in losing weight because the body is ready for physical activity, she **ted.

Cardiology Consultant Eyas Al Musa said the best time for doing sports depends on the individual.

But I would recommend immediately before iftar if the individual does **t suffer dehydration or three to four hours after the meal, he said **ting that sports alone is **t e**ugh to lose weight if the person did **t decrease total calorie intake.

In Ramazan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, Muslims abstain from eating and drinking from dawn to sunset.

Consumption of food and ********* in Jordan tends to rise during the fasting month due to the change in eating patterns.

For cardiology patients, I would recommend doing sports for 35 minutes before iftar or after iftar unless their medication does **t allow them to perform vigorous physical activities, Musa said.

Badarein advised those who are seeking a healthy diet to avoid soft and caffeinated drinks and other popular Ramazan juices.

Milk is important after sports to avoid hypoglycaemia [low bloodsugar], she added.

It is vital for diabetic patients to check their blood sugar before doing sports if it was above 200 mg dl they should **t exercise the nutritionist said.

Patients who suffer from high cholesterol are advised to fast, exercise and take vitamin E to get rid of the cholesterol, she **ted.

She added that it is important to consume traditional Ramazan sweets such as qatayef (fried or baked pancakes stuffed with cheese nuts or cream) in moderation and to replace the popular drinks such as tamarind with fresh juices.
