Shank does not recommend that children under
12 fast for the holiday. And seniors may have diffi-
culties as well.

“Fasting can be difficult, especially for seniors
who have medical conditions such as diabetes or
hypertension, two conditions that are affected by
a person’s nutritional intake,” she said. “I recom-
mend that individuals with these conditions or
other medical necessities speak with their physi-
cian before participating in the fast.”
To prepare, Shank created a sample day of a pro-
tein-, fiber- and carbohydrate-rich diet to consume
before Yom Kippur:
Breakfast: eggs, whole grain toast with peanut
butter and a serving of fruit, or a bagel with lox and
fruit Snack: Grapes and cheese
Lunch: Chicken, vegetables and quinoa or brown rice
Snack: Hummus with baby carrots, whole-grain
pita chips and a serving of fruit
Dinner: Whole-grain pasta or potatoes served
with fish and a starchy vegetable such as carrots,
peas or corn
Wishing you an easy fast and a meaningful Yom
Kippur! l
