I hear a lot of people moaning about not being able to eat in the morning but breakfast is not called that for nothing. Break-fast literally, the last time that you had eaten is probably around 8 o’clock the previous evening and now you awaken to the snoozed alarm, get up and run to the French press or percolator. You need that caffeine, and it does give you a jumpstart to your day. You still haven’t eaten and your body is effectively fasting, so you should break your fast with a healthy morning meal. This revs up your metabolism and gets the day started for you.

Do you wake up in the middle of the night and struggle to doze off again or are you just waking up in a drowsy stupor in the mornings? There are many factors that affect a great night’s sleep ranging from caffeine to late night television. Your daily exercise certainly plays a role in the quality and quantity of your sleep as does the food that you eat.

Suhour is a morning meal matched by the evening meal of Iftar. These two meals replace the traditional breakfast, lunch and dinner during the month of fasting. Suhour is an important meal as it sets a person up for the remainder of their day, thus it is of the utmost importance that people who are fasting carefully choose what to eat in the morning.
