SINGAPORE - In a move to promote healthier eating this Ramadan, the Health Promotion Board is working with mosques and groups to serve healthier food options, such as brown rice and beverages with less sugar, during iftar, the evening meal that Muslims break their daily fast with.
Of the 16 mosques, six are working with their caterers to offer a modified, healthier iftar menu. The dishes served will be prepared using wholegrains and healthier oils and cooking methods. During Ramadan, we follow certain practices such as not smoking, watching our diet. These are things that we can continue after Ramadan."
