They provide your body with the energy to perform essential processes, keep you moving, and sustain your daily life. Go for unsaturated fats: Unsaturated fats such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat can lower your risk for diseases. You’ll find them in nuts, seeds, and fish. You can also find these healthy fats in olive, canola, corn, sunflower, and soy oils. Drink plenty of water at Suhoor and Iftar.

With a more reasonable annual rate, you would be receiving an ongoing 100% of a lower fee from far more people rather than 0% of your higher rate from many potential participants. It’s simple maths and definitely worth asking your customers’ opinion - I would definitely be ‘in the upgrade’, if the price was much lower. Why not ask your customer base what we think is a reasonable price to pay annually? Go easy on saturated fats: Some people consider saturated fats to be unhealthy, but they’re not as harmful as trans fats. They’re not as healthy as unsaturated fats, but you can still eat saturated fats in moderation. Foods with saturated fats include butter, cheese, and red meat. Palm oil and coconut oil also contain saturated fats. Not all protein sources come from meat. People who don’t eat meat have many ways to get protein into their diets, such as from dairy, protein powder, beans, and whole grains. Avoid drinks that contain caffeine such as tea and coffee as these can make you lose more water by going to the toilet more. Avoid sugary drinks such as orange, apple, tropical fruit juice and fizzy drinks. Diet drinks and non-sweetened drinks such as unsweetened labaan drinks are a preferred option
