Ramadan is about *25* days away... Are you an avid caffeine drinker that will be fasting during the upcoming month Ramadan? If you are, then the thought of giving up caffeine and fasting long hours without an energy stimulant may seem daunting! Don't wait till the start of Ramadan to reduce your caffeine intake- many experience unpleasant caffeine withdrawal effects. Start a few weeks earlier (like now) and try to cut your caffeine intake sooner. Here are some tips that... may help you: -If you are currently drinking more than 2-3 cups daily, start by cutting down each cup weekly. If you are at 3 cups then reduce to 2 cups for one week then to 1 cup the following week. This will allow your body to get accustomed to reduced caffeine gradually. Most find weaning off coffee to be easier than reducing it cold-turkey. -During the weaning process, you can also switch from high caffeine beverages to ones that have a lesser amount. For example if you are an espresso drinker (2 oz Starbucks Espresso contains 150 mg of caffeine) you can switch to a tea (8 oz black tea contains 47mg and green tea contains 35 mg of caffeine). This will help in adjusting your body’s dependency on caffeine. It may also cause milder effects of caffeine to withdrawal later on. -Be sure to eat high energy yielding foods during suhoor and iftaar to get the same energy stimulating effects coffee can provide. Stay tuned for an upcoming post! - And finally, if you must have caffeine in Ramadan, I would recommend to consume it when you open your fast (an hour after iftaar). Caffeine has dehydrating effects on the body and can increase your thirst during the day if you consume a lot of caffeine during suhoor. Hopefully these tips can help you reduce your caffeine dependency in the coming weeks in preparation for Ramadan! While caffeine can provide various health benefits, A caffeine-free cleanse can be very helpful to overall health. See my blog post posted for the complete article.

What is your favourite side dish vegetable? One of mine is Asparagus! It can be prepared in so many ways- boiled, steamed, sautéed and it tastes delicious . I often pair my protein with a side of lightly sautéed asparagus with olive oil, lemon juice and Himalayan salt . Asparagus is packed with nutrients:... - low in calories - excellent source of fibre. - excellent source of vitamins A, C, E, K and folate - it is a great source of chromium which is a trace mineral that is beneficial in the management of diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels - a great detoxifier- it is rich in glutathione - an important antioxidant that breaks down harmful compounds and free radicals. - it is rich in amino acid asparagine which functions as a diuretic and helps the body get rid of excess salt. I will be sautéing some asparagus for dinner tonight What is your favourite vegetable side dish? :healthmagazine #healthyeating #asparagus #eatyourgreens #naturaldetox #naturaldetoxifier #glutathione #nutritionalmedicine #hijabiblogger #muslimblogger #healthblogger #naturopathicdoctor #naturopath #ND #mississaugahealth #drayeshatips See more

Happy Friday Starting the morning right with some protein, healthy fats and fibre. Avocados are my favourite source of healthy fats! They are rich in omega 3, are satiating and will keep you full and taste great. Pumpkin seeds are a great source of fibre, antioxidants, omega 3s and protein too! And eggs don’t always have to be paired with bread. Here is a great, balanced carb free breakfast! .... #happyfriday #tgif #tgifridays #healthyfridays #carbfree #eggs #avocados #healthyeating #nutritionalmedicine #balancedmeals #weightloss #postpartumcare #mommyof2 #naturopathicmedicine #ND #mississaugahealth #ccnm #ccnmgrad #muslimah #healthblogger #drayeshatips See more

Monday snack time Berries are an excellent source of vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants. They are nutrient dense, low in calories and taste great too. Berries are rich in polyphenols- a micronutrient that is heart healthy, brain healthy, can promote weight loss and be beneficial in diabetes management. I encourage my patients to snack on berries everyday. There are so many ways you can incorporate mixed berries in your diet: enjoy them on their own or in a fruit salad. i...n smoothies mixed with other fruits, vegetables and protein. juice them with other fruits. You can even freeze it for some yummy healthy popsicles homemade jams and purées. adding dried berries to trail mix with nuts and seeds freeze them and snack on them as ‘candy’ I trick my son into this What are some of your favourite ways of incorporating berries into your diet? :NHS photocredit #healthyfood #healthysnack #berrilicious #strawberries #naturopath #healthyeating #nutritonalmedicine #eatyournutients #mississaugahealth #healthycanadians #naturopathicdoctor #naturopathicmedicine #ND #hijabi #muslimdoctor #healthblogger #drayeshatips See more
