Actually this thread is supposed to be a mechanism of making us do what is required anyway. It is like taking away the years of bad haibits that our societies have developed regarding food in Ramadaan and giving a rational reason to adopt the best way of eating and drinking. The fact is that people eat and feast more in Ramadaan but traditionally this was never the case.

The people today over eat and become heavy and tired for prayer but these foods digest slowly it does not mean that they will not feel hungry, besides there are less calories in these foods and they will get better health in general. Does not Islam encourage this?

The date ... what is the wisdom in eating them during Ramadaan? Because they give instant energy and are good on the digestive system. When we eat less our metabolisms work harder thus drying out our guts if we do not take care of our diets then we will put ourselves in difficulty. Allah (SWT) does not want us to be in excessive difficulty ... Being really hungry and not taking care of our body is wrong, but at the same time focussing on our bodies like a diet for Ramadaan is wrong too. We have one incentive to take care of our bodies so that we do not ruin our chances for a meaningful time of ibadah instead of taking time off resting or at the doctors due to upset systems.

"I am leaving you two things and you will never go astray as long as you cling to them -- they are the Book of Allah and my Sunnah." [Reported by Al- Haakim - Sahih].
