Ramadan is a special month for Muslims.
Celebrated in many parts of the world, the holy month is marked by prayer and refraining from consuming food and drink from sunrise to sunset.
For many, this is also a time of self-reflection and self-improvement. As such, in addition to charity, devotion and sacrifice, the period also entails paying attention to one’s health.
This aspect is one of the reasons why many non-Muslims have now taken to fasting alongside their Muslim friends and family members.
However, as bountiful as the spiritual and physical benefits of fasting are, it can be challenging, and you may find yourself feeling short of strength and energy.
Fortunately, staying healthy during the 30 days of Ramadan and maintaining focus — especially for entrepreneurs, direct sellers and many others who continue to work during this time — isn’t too difficult. All you need to do is maintain your resolve and follow a few simple, practical tips.
1. Eat a balanced morning meal
Suhoor or sahur, the pre-dawn meal taken at the start of the day before fasting, is an essential part of the holy month and crucial for ensuring you have the nutrients needed for the rest of the day.
Essentially, you want to eat a meal that keeps you full. It should also be balanced.
For vegans, get enough plant-based protein to help manage those hunger pangs. Include pulses and whole foods like kale and spinach in your diet. Waterlogged fruit, such as watermelon, is also good for stabilising water levels.
2. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
Speaking of water, drinking enough water and other fluids during non-fasting hours is essential to avoid dehydration during Ramadan. You should ensure you sip enough when you break fast in the evening, several times at night, and before the start of the fasting day.
The recommended daily fluid intake when fasting is 2-3 litres. As for what to drink, limit caffeinated drinks — coffee, tea, and sodas — that can increase urination. The most ideal is water filtered using HomePure Nova. The 9-stage filtration system is designed to remove contaminants such as chlorine, bacteria, viruses, and heavy metals, ensuring your water is safe to consume. It also helps improve the taste and odour of the water, making it more appealing to drink and encouraging you to stay hydrated throughout the day.
3. Move, but don’t overdo it
It’s tempting not to want to exercise when you’re fasting, but the fact is that light physical activity will both keep you fit and give you an energy boost.
So, try a brisk walk or gentle stretches when you’re at work and feel your energy levels flagging. You can also wear the Amezcua Chi Pendant 4 to balance your energy levels throughout the day.
For those with a regular exercise routine, experts recommend taking it down a notch and simply aiming to maintain what you’ve previously achieved. Moving your workout schedule around will also help. Ideally, exercising before the breaking of the fast is best. But you could also do it after eating.
4. Don’t overeat when you break fast
Yes, you’re hungry, and everything looks tempting. But a huge meal at iftar, the breaking fast meal, will leave you fatigued. Worse, feasting can cause indigestion and harm our health and weight.
Traditionally, one broke fast with dates and water, and there’s good reason for that. Dates are loaded with vitamins and nutrients and can help restore the body’s glucose levels.
Of course, as mentioned, you can eat more than dates. But do pace yourself when you eat. And, as with suhoor, ensure the evening meal is nutritious and balanced.
5. Prioritise sleep
Sleep rejuvenates the body. And it’s even more critical when you’re fasting.
However, irregular patterns and eating habits can adversely affect many people’s sleep schedules during Ramadan. So, try sticking to a fixed routine for food and sleep. As a rule of thumb, you should aim for 7-8 hours of sleep a day, broken into blocks. But everyone’s situation is different, so ensure you’re getting what you need. Incidentally, a short power nap in the middle of the day — something the best entrepreneurs advocate — is recommended to help you improve focus.
You can incorporate Amezcua Bio Light 3 into your routine, as its blue light setting is designed to help promote vitality and support healthy sleep balance. Harmoniq Vivid can also help support mental clarity and focus during this period, especially as changes in routine and sleep patterns tend to affect concentration while fasting.
Meanwhile, EDG3 Plus can support your body as it faces additional stress from these changes in eating and sleeping patterns. This nutritional supplement, with a powerful blend of turmeric, glutathione precursors, and vitamin D3, is formulated to support the immune system and promote overall health and well-being.
Challenging but fulfilling
Fasting can be challenging, but on top of the spiritual blessings, when done right, it can be highly beneficial to your physical self.
However, the most important things to remember are to maintain a balanced diet and listen to your body.
