IMPLICATION OF A PROPHETIC DIET FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE: AN EXPLORATION REVIEW

Summary/Abstract: A prophet’s diet will emerge by accounting records of Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) food. These records claim to find patterns in creating hypothesis for this prophetic diet which emphasizes healthy living and reduced nutrition-related diseases (NRD). However, the study largely depends upon Hadiths – sayings enriching the earliest recorded historical information about the Prophet and the first Muslims (Muranyi & Juynboll, 1984). The aim of this paper is to analyse the Hadiths and other literature under the scientific lens to identify and document the food eaten by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It was observed that the list of traced food can be codified into a food pyramid, most of which can be an initiating point for more sophisticated research on finding the nutritive reasoning of individual ingredients. The data was then run through DietRx platform which discovers health effects of food ingredients by assimilating interrelationships among food and key molecular agents. Our analysis demonstrated that this prophetic diet can promote a healthy life and reduce the incidences of NRD.
