Are you fasting this Ramadan and also going shopping? Think again, said Dubai Economy in a tweet on Sunday.
Research has proven that hunger influences people’s purchasing choices, hence, one should preferably opt to shop only after breaking one's fast.
“Plan your shopping trips after Iftar," said the authority in its advisory.
"Avoid purchasing items when you are hungry or fasting, as hunger may affect your purchasing choices,” it explained.
The advisory is timely due to a large number of UAE residents fasting during Ramadan. During the holy month, Muslims fast from dawn to dusk.
