Drink Or What Not To Drink....That Is The Question,

Masha'Allah Ramadan is almost here! And the days are much longer and hotter. So that got me to thinking what should we drink at Suhoor and Iftar so we will survive these long days. 1. Water. This is a given. Make sure to drink plenty of water before you start your fast. 3. Gatorade, Smart Water, Powerade and Pedialyte.

Now I've listed this because these have electrolytes that help keep the body hydrated. I've listed pedialyte so those of us that have kids that want to fast we have to keep them hydrated as well. I know, I know, as painful as it is. Drinking coffee tea, or any caffeine at Suhoor for these next couple of years wouldn't be a good idea. Caffeine is a diuretic, so that means its going make you go, and you'll loose a lot of fluids.

If you have to drink caffeine, then drink small quantities and then follow up with tons of water. 2. Sugary Drinks: Juice, Pop, and Kool Aid. Try not have too much sugar at Suhoor. It can mess with your blood sugar. It will cause it to spike, and then it's going to crash.

When your sugar crashes, you'll feel tired weak and thirsty. 1. Water. Yes again water. Replenish what your body has lost. 3. Tea, Coffee, and Any Other Source of Caffeine. Now is the time have your caffeine. But try to have it after water and food. This way when the caffeine makes you go, you can replenish the fluid that you lost quickly.

] in this type of market,” she says. 80 billion in revenue. 2018: Year of the value meal, Right now, these big chains’ new value meals are US-only. But the gradual chipping away of costs for quick food isn’t a trend in North America alone. While £1 meals aren’t commonplace in the UK, value meals are a growing trend that even higher-end supermarkets are interested in, such as, Marks and Spencer’s ‘Dine in for two for £10’ offer. Supermarket, Tesco, also offers £4 lunch specials that include a sandwich, drink and packet of crisps.

While cheap items priced from £1.99 or £2.99 have helped drive sales at sandwich shops like Greggs, the bakery chain, the largest in the UK, which will open over 100 new locations in the next five years. But Caraher suspects that the pricing strategies in the US won’t necessarily translate to other national markets.

McDonald’s in Europe, for instance, is taking a different tack, responding to demand for produce from sustainable sources. Slashing prices would mean sacrificing that reputation, Caraher says, which won’t float with conscientious millennial customers. “In order to lower their prices, they would have to break a lot of their marketing initiatives that they’ve implemented here in Europe,” he says.

In comments to BBC Capital, McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Taco Bell didn’t expand on what motivated them to introduce new value meal menus now beyond saying it was a play to customer needs. 4 deal so attractive,” a spokesperson for Wendy’s says. ] customers,” Smith from the University of Michigan says - to keep hold of people already eating fast food, rather than courting younger people who want pasture-fed pork and organic vegetables.

It’s still unclear what will happen to the industry if fast food becomes cheaper and cheaper. Public health experts also raise concerns. Nestle says that for people who traditionally eat at fast food outlets, more value meals might mean they eat larger amounts and more often. That’d be a problem for the US, already one of the most obese nations in the world.

If Gen Z and Millennials continue to show preference for greener foods, and if restaurants beyond burger chains follow McDonald’s lead, perhaps the pricing wars’ ripple effect will spread further. Nestle points to the ongoing diversification of fast food that’s gone well beyond deep-fried chicken and fizzy drinks. She names US chains Sweetgreen and Fresh, which sell all things leafy, and Smith also mentions the rise of health food supermarket, Whole Foods.
