1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is advisable to consult doctors specialized in herbs and nutrition regarding medical aspects. The guidance of the Prophet, peace be upon him, concerning food was not limited to one type. Rather, he would eat what the people of his land habitually ate, such as meat, fruit, bread, and dates. He loved meat, honey, and sweets, and he would eat bread with whatever condiments were available. He would praise vinegar when no other condiment was present. His guidance regarding drink was among the most perfect for preserving health; he would drink honey mixed with cold water. Carrots were not mentioned in the discussions of Ibn al-Qayyim and al-Tirmidhi concerning the food of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
