      Fasting for Ramadan? 5 key tips to nourish your body and soul

      Fasting during Ramadan is a significant spiritual practice for Muslims around the world. It involves abstaining from food and drinks from dawn until sunset.
      While fasting, individuals focus on prayer, reflection, and self-discipline. Here are five tips to help make fasting during Ramadan a spiritually fulfilling and physically manageable experience.
      Hydration is Key

      Begin your fast with a balanced suhoor meal that includes plenty of fluids and hydrating foods such as fruits and vegetables. Drink plenty of water during non-fasting hours to prevent dehydration. Avoid caffeine and sugary drinks, as they can cause thirst.
      Eat Nutritious Foods

      Opt for wholesome, nutrient-rich meals during iftar (breaking the fast) to replenish your body’s energy levels. Include complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and healthy fats to sustain you throughout the fasting period. Avoid overeating or indulging in heavy, greasy foods, which can lead to discomfort and sluggishness.
      Moderate Physical Activity

      While intense exercise may be challenging during fasting hours, light physical activity such as walking or gentle stretching can help maintain energy levels and promote overall well-being. Listen to your body and avoid strenuous activities, especially during the hottest parts of the day.
      Prioritize Rest and Sleep

      Ensure you get adequate rest and sleep during Ramadan to support your body’s fasting process. Aim for seven to eight hours of sleep per night and consider taking short naps during the day if needed. Establish a bedtime routine to promote relaxation and quality sleep.
      Focus on Spiritual Growth
      Use the opportunity of Ramadan to deepen your connection with your faith. Allocate time each day for spiritual reflection and self-improvement. Engage in community iftars and taraweeh prayers to foster a sense of unity and solidarity with fellow Muslims.
