Fresh drink is one of the mandatory menu for breaking the fast. Blewah is one of the most popular fruits during the month of Ramadan to make takjil iftar. In addition to its sweet taste, its high water content can help reduce dehydration after fasting. The content of antioxidants in cantaloupe known as zeaxanthin plays a role in maintaining eye health.
The yellow color of the cantaloupe signifies that cantaloupe contains beta carotene, a compound that can help reduce the chances of getting asthma, prevent prostate cancer, and colon cancer.
Beta carotene also serves as the basic ingredient of vitamin A formation so it can help meet your vitamin A needs. Vitamin A plays a role in the growth of tissues in the body, including hair and skin so that adequate vitamin A intake can help take care of your skin health. In addition, the fiber content in cantaloupe can help smooth the digestive system.
But be careful if you make ice cantaloupe, make sure the sugar and syrup you use is not too much so as not to exceed the limit of your daily sugar intake.
Any type of takjil you choose, make sure it is still consumed appropriately. Because although a type of food contains many benefits for the body, but if consumed in excess will still cause the risk of disease.
