Ginger: the ally of Ramadan
Fasting during Ramadan (from dawn to sunset) puts a strain on the body. Ginger is the ideal accompaniment for iftar and suhoor.
For suhoor (pre-dawn meal)
- Long-lasting energy — caffeine-free thermogenesis to last the day
- Anti-nausea — fasting can cause morning sickness
- Hydration — diluted in water, helps to stay well-hydrated
For iftar (breaking the fast)
- Digestion — after 14-18 hours without eating, the stomach is sensitive; ginger gently activates it
- Anti-bloating — prevents digestive excesses of iftar
- Blood sugar — stabilizes the blood sugar spike after breaking the fast
Zero sugar = halal and healthy
Sugary concentrates are allowed but counterproductive during Ramadan. Sugar at iftar causes a crash that worsens fatigue the next day.
INTI — ginger + turmeric + black pepper, zero sugar. The natural accompaniment for Ramadan.
