Ramadan is a Holy Month for Muslims all around the world, during which time strict fasting is observed in daylight hours, from dusk till dawn, sunrise to sunset.
Fasting, in general, is an ancient and powerful method that can promote healing and regeneration and, if done correctly, can be very good for our health as it can promote detoxification.
It is well-known that body starts breaking muscle when starved, so it is very important to eat right during this month. Food consumed during the pre-dawn and dusk meals may lead to some unwanted weight gain, but, if approached with discipline, it can be an opportunity to manage weight and stay healthy & nourished.
Herbalife Nutrition can assist in the absorption of nutrients, maintaining lean muscle, sustaining metabolism and ensuring continuous energy for those fasting during month of Ramadan, in addition to regular food.
