When Muslims bound themselves to these activities in order to please Allah Almighty, then they have to make certain changes in their routine to accommodate all this. There comes a huge change in meal plan and Muslims set their own health goals in this month. With only two main meals, at predawn and dusk, the entire eating schedule of Muslims is changed. Following article will help you in achieving your fitness and health objectives in month of Ramadan.
