Muslim Diet
December 8, 2008
It is generally noticed that a Muslim at a party is very choosy about eating; he normally prefers vegetarian stuff to the non- vegetarian. The reason for this is that Muslim law permits to eat a specific type of diet. It does not mean that they are not allowed to eat non- vegetarian dishes. They can surely eat non-vegetarian food but which is prepared according to the Muslim norms. The meat can only be consumed by a Muslim if it is a meat of non diseased animal and if it is killed by a Muslim only. The food which they are not allowed to eat is called HARRAM and they have to strictly follow HALAL diet. The Muslims are also forbidden to eat carnivorous meat, pork and pork products.
All these restrictions on Muslim diet do not mean that Muslims are deprived of a healthy diet. Even a diet for Muslim can be made well-balanced. If chapattis and rice are eaten in a healthy way then it can prove to be a well nourished diet. The nutritive value of the chapattis can be increased by stuffing them with the various vegetables. Large quantity of whole grains can be included in the diet for improving insulin sensitivity and to reduce the risk of various dangerous diseases like heart problem and cancer. Use brown rice instead of white for a more nutritious and filling meal. If rice and chapattis are used sensibly in the meal then they can provide all the vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids which are required to make the body healthy.
Lots of spices used in the hall food are very beneficial for the body. Spices like curry powder, turmeric and hot pepper used for preparing hall food have many benefits like acting as antioxidant, lowering the risk of developing cancer, cardio vascular diseases and joint pain. They also play an important role in increasing the metabolic activities of the body. But while using these spices one should avoid spice mixes as sodium level in them is very high which is harmful for the body.
While eating a halal diet it is better to calculate calories intake in a day to ensure that you take enough calories. For a person having 165 pounds of weight 2800-3000 calories are required. Take proteins, carbohydrates and fats in correct ratio for a healthy body. Instead of skipping meals cut down calories by 500 per day to lose weight and increase 500 calories per day to increase weight.
So, it is clear that even a Muslim diet can be made very healthy and nutritious to protect the body from various diseases.
