Mumbai, Feb 20 (NationPress) Renowned television star Hina Khan has called on everyone to uphold a healthy and balanced diet during Ramadan and to steer clear of overeating.
She emphasized that indulging in heavy, fried, and sugary foods post-fasting can lead to weight gain, alongside digestive complications and general fatigue.
On her official Instagram Stories, the star of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai expressed, "It's a common habit to overindulge during iftar.

Hina encouraged everyone to be mindful about their eating habits this holy month, advocating for a gradual breaking of the fast and taking pauses between meals.
She further recommended that individuals pay attention to their fiber and protein consumption.
"Let us not succumb to these cultural practices and eat wisely... Gradually break your fast, chew your food well, take breaks, and stay hydrated... Prioritize fiber and protein in your meals... It's fine to indulge occasionally, but don't make it a routine..." she added.
