Nutritionist shares best foods for sustenance during Ramadan - and what to avoid

The holy month of Ramadan is underway, which sees Muslims fast every day from dawn to sunset, while abstaining from food and drink, sex and smoking for hours each day.

Outside the hours of fasting, a nutritionist says that those taking part may want to pick their food and drinks carefully for the Suhur and Iftar meals, to ensure they are keeping their blood levels steady and getting the vitamins and nutrients their body needs.

If you're not sure what the best foods and drinks to go for are, Dietitian Dr Carrie Ruxton has shared some of the ones to consider and a few that you should be sure to avoid.
