CAIRO - 13 March 2024: There are special juices associated with the holy month of Ramadan, and are stables in Ramadan breakfast meals.

- Qamar al-Din juice:

 

It provides the body with a good amount of water in addition to a wide range of vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin A, iron, potassium, and fibre. Qamar al-Din juice is famous for stimulating the digestion process, regulating the work of the intestines, alleviating diarrhea, neutralizing blood acidity, combating anemia, expelling toxins, protecting against cancer, delaying aging, improving the beauty of the skin, and contributing to lowering high blood pressure numbers.

It relieves thirst, helps the body get rid of fat, and protects against the risk of fat accumulating on the walls of the arteries, and thus protects against atherosclerosis, which is the main gateway to the development of clots and heart and cerebral attacks.

It is one of the important juices for the body, as it combats the risk of high blood pressure, strengthens the body’s immunity due to its richness in vitamin C, helps build tissues, has anti-inflammatory effects due to its richness in flavonoids, protects against cancer, and helps treat anemia. It enhances the health of the circulatory system.
