Breaking the iftar with dates, here's why Muslim believers follow this tradition

The month of Ramadan is a time of reflection, prayer, and fasting from sunrise to sunset. One of the traditions for many Muslims who fast all day is to break their fast, or iftar, with dates. But why?

During Ramadan, Muslims do not consume food or water from dawn to sunset.

It can make them feel weak, so dates are packed with protein which can give instant energy and strength to the body.

They are also a rich source of fiber, iron, sodium, and potassium that help keep the body fit and healthy.

Dates support healthy bowel movements and improve brain health.

They provide healthy nutrition for the body and help reduce inflammation. Also, for religious reasons, it is preferable to break the fast with dates.
