        "summary": "During Ramadan, maintaining concentration is crucial, especially for those with busy schedules. Nutritionist Dr. Tan Shot Yen advises avoiding sugary foods during Sahur (pre-dawn meal) as they cause unstable blood sugar levels, leading to energy crashes and drowsiness. He recommends a balanced diet following the 'Isi Piringku' guidelines from the Ministry of Health, emphasizing a combination of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber for sustained energy throughout the fasting day.",

Tan Shot Yen, M.Hum.,\nemphasized that choosing the right Sahur menu is the key to keeping the\nbody fit and avoiding drowsiness.<\/p>\n<p>According to Tan, the composition and portion of food during Sahur\ndirectly affect a person\u2019s blood sugar stability.<\/p>\n<p>One common mistake is consuming foods with high sugar content. This\nhabit actually triggers unstable blood sugar spikes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe blood sugar spike will be followed by insulin, which tries to\nlower blood sugar back to normal. This sequence causes concentration to\ndrop,\u201d explained Tan, quoted on Wednesday (25\/2).<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Tan explained that about two hours after consuming\nhigh-sugar foods, blood sugar levels will rise sharply but then drop\nquickly.<\/p>\n<p>This drastic decrease is what ultimately triggers feelings of\nweakness and severe drowsiness during the day.<\/p>\n<p>To overcome this, Tan advises people to adopt a balanced nutritional\ndiet during Sahur.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized that the menu consumed does not have to be luxurious or\ncomplicated, but rather simply follow the \u2018Isi Piringku\u2019 guidelines\nprepared by the Ministry of Health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA balanced nutritional Sahur, a complete but simple menu, not\nluxurious or complicated. Follow the \u2018Isi Piringku\u2019 concept,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>\n<p>As a reminder, the \u2018Isi Piringku\u2019 guideline suggests that each\nportion of food consists of half of the plate containing vegetables and\nfruits as a source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the other half of the plate is filled with staple foods as\na source of carbohydrates, and side dishes including animal and\nvegetable proteins.<\/p>\n<p>Tan emphasized that the combination of carbohydrates, protein, and\nfiber in the right portions is the main capital so that the body\u2019s\nenergy can last longer and concentration remains maintained while\ncarrying out fasting.<\/p>\n<p>With a simple menu plan that meets nutritional standards, it is hoped\nthat people will remain productive in carrying out their daily routines\neven while fasting.
