Dr Ramota warns against breaking with oranges
University of Ilorin Acting Head of Home Economics and Food Science Department Dr Ramota Karim, has warned Muslims against breaking the fast with orange, lemon and cashew due to their acidic content.
She told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the ideal fruits to use in breaking fast were dates, pawpaw, water melon and apple. "The intake of orange, lemon or cashew to breakfast is not advisable because they contain high organic acid-citric acid and tartaric acid that are not good to open up the digestive system after a very long rest.
"Instead, drinking of water is advisable," she said.
She also advised people to eat moderately and stop the habit of drinking water while having meal.
"It is advisable to drink water 10 minutes before meal or five minutes after the meal to avoid diluting stomach acid and causing indigestion".
