nutritive value of an analogous daily diet of the prophet Mohamed

ABSTRACT

This investigation was carried on an analogous daily diet of the Prophet Mohammad in an attempt to clarify its nutritive. The daily diet of Prophet Mohamed was comprised of 11 food ingredients, namely raib milk, dates, red carrots, honey, olive oil, barley bread, parsely, dill, milk, vinegar, and pomegranate. The chemical analysis of the daily diet ws performed on the composite samples of the three daily diets, i.e. breakfast, lunch and dinner. The objective of this investigatgion was to study the gross chemical composition including [protein, fat ash, crude fiber, and carbohydrate contents, and caloric value of these three daily diets composite samples. Likewise, their minerals content including [Na, K, Mg, Ca, Se, FE and Zn] and vitamins content including [A, E, and C] were assessed. The data revealed that the gross chemical composition and caloric value of the an analogous daily diet of Prophet Mohamed agree with the recent nutritional daily allowance. Likewise the mineral composition of this daily diet proved to meet the recommended daily allowance set by International Food and Nutrition Board. Mean while, the total analogous daily diet of Prophet Mohamed contained all known needs for vitamins A, E, and C. In conclusion, on the basis of the over-all nutritional assessment, the analogous daily diet of the Prophet Mohamed, it seemed that this diet proved to be very healthful and nutritional and still valid for the twenty and twenty one century
