Ramadan is around the corner and so is the fragrance of Rooh Afza sharbat on the streets. With only two days to go for the holiest month of Islamic Hijri calendar, Muslims all over the world are gearing up for the month of fasting. Known as Ramzan or Ramadan, the sacred month is a period of either 29 or 30 days that falls in the 9th month of Islamic calendar.
The preparations are in full swing as people stock up their shelves with dates, fruits, pheni, cutlets, dried fruits, meat and the list goes on. For those conscious of their weight and fitness, Ramadan offers a golden opportunity to practice intermittent fasting along with moderating their diets with nutritional food.
