Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic Lunar Calendar.

Every day during this month, Muslims around the world spend the daylight hours in a complete

fast. 

Nothing can enter your mouth during daylight (No

tablets, no water and no food while its daylight)

 When it is night they can eat food

and drink.  

Religions that effect health

Ramadan:  

Individuals can become malnourished in that space of

time.- Dehydrated causing illness

(Faint, dizziness) - Lose weight 

- Lose appetite during the night to eat

- Metabolism slows down (Can put on weight easily)

IslamThe Koran outlines the foods which can be eaten (halal) and

those forbidden (haram).

Beef, lamb and chicken can only be eaten if the animal

has been slaughtered by the halal method. This

means that the animal must be

killed by slitting its throat.

The animal will then have all the blood drained from its

body.

Muslims will only eat meat slaughtered by Muslims, Christians or

Jews.

Examples include pork, blood, alcohol

and meat sacrificed to

idols.

Write down how this religion

influences your diet choices?

Hinduism

Strict Hindus are vegetarian.

The cow is held in high regard and a

symbol of abundance,

therefore Hindus do not eat beef.

Some Hindus may also

avoid certain foods, such as salted

pork, milk, onions,

garlic, eggs and coconut.

Buddhism 

Prohibited animal flesh: all.

Buddhists believe they should not be responsible for the death of any other living organism.

Therefore, most Buddhists follow a strict vegetarian, if

not vegan diet.

They also avoid the

consumption of alcohol.

This influences

their diet due to becoming

a vegetarian. Write down how this religion
