Tips for a Healthy Ramadahan

Ramadhan has come. It's summer now, the fasting day is getting longer and I am sure for me and others is much harder. Because of this we must be more careful with our activities, food choices and general habits during this Ramadhan in order to avoid illnesses and other problems while fasting. Here are a few simple tips to help cope with this year’s long fasts.

The first tips and the most important is drink lots of water.With the long Ramadhan days we are likely to get more dehydrated as we are not drinking for a longer period of time. So when Sahur and Maghrib comes try to drink lots of water.Second,keep away from caffeine drinks and sodas.Caffeine is known as a diuretic which means that it makes you want to use the bathroom more often, losing the precious water that your body has accumulated and making you dehydrated. Dehydration can make you feel unwell, decrease blood pressure, feel thirsty (which make fasting much harder!).The last tips is never skip sahur. Eating something in the morning is good for the body. It provides useful calories for the day and gets the digestive system going. Sahur can prevent too much eating when maghrib comes,so it can prevent weight gain and make us stay fit.

Ramadhan is a beautiful month. Enjoy this month and all the blessings it offers, as well as take advantage of the health benefits we can gain.Happy Ramadhan everyone!
