Why you should not waste food during Ramadan
Growing up, we were taught that wasting food was a sin. Every bite of food was valued in our culture, so we always heard our elders say that not even a grain of rice should go to waste. However, various factors have changed the way we once thought and behaved, resulting in a Bangladeshi society where a large number of people struggle to make ends meet while some citizens have access to more food than they can consume.

Changing your food habits and lifestyle for a healthy body
The food you put in your system will have an impact on your organs, bones, brain, and cells. Scientific research states that on average an adult loses over 300 billion cells every day and the only way to replace those cells is through the food we eat, which acts as fuel for us to replenish those lost cells. When we eat toxic, less nutritional food our bodies stop manufacturing new healthy cells. Also, regular indulgence in processed food fills our system with chemicals and toxins that affect our organ’s resilience. When we eat healthy it replenishes our body internally and we see the results of having more energy, and more spontaneity in our daily life.
