Ramadan involves fasting from sunrise to sunset, with Muslims abstaining from eating and drinking anything at all during this time.
How To Stay Healthy During Ramadan

Ramadan is a month long which means Muslims need to take great care of their diet to ensure their bodies are able to cope with the adjustment of not eating or drinking during the day. After all, going from eating and drinking as normal to completely reversing your schedule will take a toll, making it essential to implement healthy habits to properly sustain yourself throughout this month-long fast.

Is Ramadan Fasting Good for Health?

It’s important to recognise the impact that abstaining from drink and food during Ramadan has on your body so that you can take the correct measures to balance your body. When you don’t eat for long periods of time and the calories from your most recent meal have been used up, your body will start to use the carbohydrates and fat it has stored in your liver and muscles. This will provide you with energy to go about your day.

You may initially feel pangs of hunger, especially at times of the day your body is used to eating, but after a week or so, these feelings should subside as your body gets used to its new routine. It’s also common to experience constipation as their digestive system slows down in accordance with the new eating regime, but you easily mitigate this by making healthy meal choices for Suhoor and Iftar.

The next step your body will take is to preserve the water it already has, and to do this, your kidneys will restrict the number of times you need to pee. It’s inevitable that you will lose some water through sweating, particularly in summer, but your body has processes in place to conserve fluids.
