141( / Nutrition Style of Prophet Mohammad (saww)

In the other Expression:
Prophet Mohammad (saww) used to open his fast with sweets if
available and if not available would open with warm water.
Drinking warm water cleans the stomach and liver,
strengthen the teeth’s, makes the smell of mouth pleasant,
strengthens eyes, stimulate blood vessels, remove
bitterness, sharpens the eye sight, decreases heat in the
1
stomach, cause forgiveness of sins and cures the headache.
Prophet (saww) always used to prefer one food at a
time and also always used to eat simple food.
For this reason, one of the traditions of Holy
Prophet (saww) is to leave food when one part of your
stomach remains.
Islam says to divide stomach food into 3 phases:
1. Water
2. air
3. empty.

If stomach is full, one cannot concentrate on
obligatory prayers, if it is empty still you cannot
concentrate so Islam chooses a way to leave
stomach 1/3 empty to work well and be able to
concentrate.

The Amount Prophet Used to Eat, when the
Prophet Ate
The prophet Mohammad (saww) always used to
advice people to eat less.
