Application for Steemit Challenge Season 30 – Ramadan Herbal Drinks & Healthy Salads (Joint Challenge)

Hello everyone, we hope you are enjoying good health and high spirits. We are pleased to submit our joint application for Steemit Challenge Season 30

🌙 “Ramadan Herbal Drinks & Healthy Salads”

This challenge is designed to promote healthy eating habits during the blessed month of Ramadan by encouraging the preparation of natural herbal beverages and fresh, nutritious salads.
Ramadan is a time of spiritual reflection, discipline, and balance. However, long fasting hours require proper hydration and light nourishment to maintain energy and digestive health. Unfortunately, heavy fried foods and sugary drinks are commonly consumed at iftar, often leading to fatigue, dehydration, and stomach discomfort.
Through this challenge, we aim to guide the Steemit community toward healthier Ramadan choices by combining herbal knowledge with balanced nutrition.
Together, we will provide participants with practical skills that improve wellbeing while keeping meals delicious and refreshing.
