1) Tips to prevent dehydration during Ramadan fasting
2) Hydration hacks for Iftar and Suhoor
Maintaining adequate water intake and staying hydrated is essential during Ramadan, especially when fasting from dawn to dusk. Here are some tips to avoid dehydration during the fast:
Hydration is crucial during Suhoor, the pre-dawn meal before fasting throughout Ramadan. Drinking plenty of water before beginning the fast helps you stay hydrated throughout the day. Consume watery foods like cucumbers, melons, and oranges to maintain hydration levels. It is important to avoid caffeinated beverages during Suhoor because they might increase urine output and potentially lead to dehydration. To stay hydrated during the fasting period one must minimize physical activities. Ramadan fasting recommendations can help individuals meet their hydration needs throughout the day.
It is essential to hydrate the body after a full day of fasting during Iftar, the meal served at dusk during Ramadan. Starting with water and eating hydrating fruits like dates and melons can help you replace fluids and electrolytes. To avoid pain and ensure proper hydration, drink water progressively during the evening rather than all at once. Herbal teas can also be a healthy alternative to caffeinated beverages like coffee, delivering hydration without diuretic effects. Incorporating these techniques into Iftar helps rehydrate and replace key nutrients after fasting during the day.
To stay hydrated at Iftar and Suhoor-
-Try homemade drinks like lemonade with mint, sharbat, or rooh afza, a famous rose syrup blended with water or milk. These drinks are both mouthwatering and hydrating.
– Consuming yogurt or lassi will hydrate and promote the digestive health of the body.
– Include soups in your Iftar meal that are nutritious and hydrating.
