The Stomach in Trouble

A story about avoiding overeating and eating in a way that supports healthy growth. It connects particularly with Ramadan, when fasting offers opportunities to practise moderation, patience and control over desires rather than always giving in at the expense of health.

Simple explanations and humorous illustrations show what happens to food in the stomach and how the brain and stomach exchange messages. The story also explores balancing natural sugars, fibre, starches, protein and fats, encouraging healthy eating during Ramadan and beyond.
