Never said it was healthy. I said most of them are not overweight. I can see the point you are making though, eating that late at night cant be good for the digestive system.
Depends what you eat, I've learnt over time to avoid the "traditional" dishes and opt for cereal, high in fibre that gives the digestive system a bit of help, fruit (banana, apple, oranges, water melons), juice, a couple of glasses of water, works for me.
A muslim friend of mine brought me in a meal that they have for Ramadan, it was like porridge (some kind of oats) with lamb, bloody terrible as I usually get a nice Yemenese curry.
Apologies. Mis-read you and thought you was saying it must be healthy because they're never overweight
Ahh curry, something strong tasting enough to hide the taste of the rodent you are eating portrayed as beef or foul
Yes, I have a fruity number for when I'm feeling particularly flirtatious, but that's for another forum!
Just to get this straight, Mo Farah, the greatest middle/long distance runner in the world atm doesn't take fluids during the daylight hours of Ramadam? Even if he trains at night, that's only @ 4hrs of daylight during high summer in this country. Utterly amazing - and scary.
These make sense:- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/22/ramadan-fast-extra-test-f_n_1537501.html http://bigstory.ap.org/article/many-muslim-athletes-fast-after-london-olympics seems you CAN postpone it, or donate to charities. perhaps not the same for all Muslim countries, but considering that nine-tenths of the world's best middle-distance/endurance runners are from North and East African nations you'd surely expect some exceptions to the rule.
