4 Healthy Eating Tips in Ramadan The Holy month of Ramadan is almost here bringing with it serenity, calmness, peace and many family gatherings to enjoy. For those of you who practice fasting, you are all too familiar with the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies hunger. By incorporating some of the few tips below, we can prevent over indulging once we break our fast. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! There s a reason why this is the first and most important tip; hydration keeps our tummies feeling full and keeps the headaches away, something we are all too familiar with in the first few days of Ramadan. Bonus tip: cutting out your morning caffeine intake a week before can reduce headaches during the beginning of Ramadan. Since we have very little time to drink as much water as possible after breaking fast, be aware of how many glasses you are drinking and keep reminding yourself to keep hydrating as it makes a big difference once you start your daily fast. Keep it Light We all get that feeling of wanting to eat everything in sight once its time to break our fast, but keep in mind that is accompanied with an after effect of drowsiness and feeling heavy. Instead, try breaking your fast by drinking water and having dates, remember, your digestive system has been dormant all day and needs to be awoken gently. Keep it Active During fasting hours, our top priority leans towards wanting to sleep away the fasting hours, Ramadan can be the perfect excuse to take it easy. However, working out, even if mildly can greatly benefit us in more than just weight loss, it can also help activate our systems even without food. If you would like to start an activity that is not too rigorous, yoga has been a favorite as it can be done before or after breaking fast. The breathing exercises and moving with awareness of yoga poses can have a great effect on our physical bodes as well as the nervous system. Be Mindful Other than eating healthy, the Holy Month is also akin with spiritualism. Being mindful and aware of your daily actions can greatly promote positive behavior in our daily actions. So take this time to be mindful of your inner self and how it reflects to the outside world. If you are stuck in a traffic jam and you are, hungry, thirsty and hot maybe think twice about honking your horn and causing further aggravation. We are all experiencing the same sensations while fasting and being mindful of each other can help make our days a little easier. Ramadan Kareem to you all. 3
