3. Can You Eat Fried Foods When Breaking Fast? Here's the Expert's Explanation

One of the things considered essential by some people when breaking their fast is enjoying fried foods. However, these foods should be consumed wisely given the high calorie and fat content that can impact the body of someone who is fasting.

So what are the rules for consuming fried foods to stay healthy? According to the explanation from the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Indonesia (FKUI), Prof. Dr. dr. H. Ari Fahrial Syam, SpPD-KGEH, MMB, FINASIM, FACP on the HelloSehat website, eating fried foods when breaking fast is indeed allowed, but with the condition that they are not consumed immediately when the call to prayer is heard and in limited quantities to avoid overloading the stomach that has been empty for a whole day.

The fats in fried foods are relatively hard to digest, and if consumed excessively when breaking fast, they can cause bloating, stomach pain, and even intestinal irritation, especially for those with digestive issues. To be safer, fried foods can be consumed 30 minutes after breaking the fast, after the body has received fluids and light snacks first, and it is advisable to use healthy oils if making them at home.

4. Rules for Consuming Sweet Foods When Breaking the Fast

In addition to enjoying fried foods, consuming sweet foods when breaking the fast also needs to be limited, even though it is recommended. The type and portion should be controlled to avoid sudden spikes in blood sugar that can make the body feel weak quickly.

Ideally, the sweet foods consumed when breaking the fast should come from natural sources like dates, fruits, or juice without added sugar, rather than from artificial syrup, ice cream, or market snacks high in artificial sweeteners.

Additionally, the best time to consume sweet foods is at the beginning of breaking the fast in limited amounts, and it is not recommended to make it the main dish as it can cause fatigue after the Maghrib prayer.
