Health tips: Start with a salad

After breaking your fast with the traditional Ramadan staple of milk or laban and dates, introduce foods that are easy on your stomach as you slowly slide into the main course. Opt for a garden-fresh bowl of salad full of slightly seasoned romaine lettuce, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and a very light dressing to kickstart the Iftar. Add a bit of ginger for better digestion.
