10 Diet Foods From The Holy Quran

Nowadays, various kinds of food and unhealthy lifestyles can result in an unacceptable body condition, causing the emergence of non-communicable diseases, to obesity.

Many now realize the importance of exercising and maintaining a healthy diet to anticipate this problem.

Before people go on a diet and start to maintain a diet, Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam first conveyed knowledge related to body health, especially regarding diet.

Something that I am most worried about for my people is a distended stomach (because of eating a lot), frequent sleep, feeling lazy, and weak faith.

Messenger of Allah (Hadith Darqutni)

A human being fills no worse vessel than his stomach. It is sufficient for a human being to eat a few mouthfuls to keep his spine straight. But if he must (fill it), then one-third of food, one-third for a drink, and one-third for air.

Messenger of Allah (Sunan Ibn Majah 3349)

As a guideline for human life, the Holy Quran has also recommended various foods in Jannah to be consumed because they contain multiple properties and nutrients, especially good for those of us who want to go on a diet.

Here are the 10 diet foods recommended in the Holy Quran:

1. Dates

The Prophet PBUH said that meat is the king of food because the meat is rich in protein and minerals. Poultry meat such as chicken, bird, and duck has many good nutrients for body health.

It is not only halal for Muslims to consume but also good for the health of the body. Moreover, many foods mentioned in the Quran are classified as superfoods with many benefits.
