Stay Fit During Ramadan.
The month of Ramadan has arrived. It's time for Muslims around the world to fast. In addition to increasing our faith, holding hunger and thirst for approximately 12 hours when fasting also provides various health benefits if done correctly. How to keep fit during Ramadan? The MyNurz team has summarized some tips that you can do at home.
Eat normal portions. After fasting all day, it's not uncommon for us to go crazy when breaking the fast. Even though eating excessive portions when breaking the fast can make the stomach feel full, cramps and even diarrhea due to gastroenteritis. This is because the stomach is forced to work hard immediately after a day's rest. according to dr. Magdi Mohamed from Burjeel Abu Dhabi Hospital, is advised to break the fast with small meals and water first, then continue to eat heavy meals with normal portions, and you should avoid spicy and sour foods.
Limit consumption of sweet foods, this is because during fasting it is not uncommon for blood sugar to be higher than usual. So if we continue to consume excessive sweet foods will have a negative impact on health. In addition, intake of sweet foods during fasting can also make our bodies weak during the day.
Drink lots of water. When fasting it is recommended to drink 2 glasses of water at dawn, 2 glasses at breaking the fast and 4 glasses at night. Avoid sweet or caffeinated drinks such as tea or coffee at dawn, because they will make us feel more thirsty.
Consume lots of fruits and vegetables, because fruits and vegetables contain high fiber as well as vitamins and minerals that the body needs to stay fit during fasting. But not all fruits are good for consumption during fasting, avoid fruits that contain citrus such as oranges, lemons or limes. We recommend that you choose fruit that contains lots of water, such as: watermelon, apples, pears and grapes.
Drink vitamin. So that the immune system is maintained and not susceptible to disease during fasting, it is better to take a multivitamin once a day to keep the body fit all day.
Do light exercise. Fasting is not an excuse not to exercise at all. There are several types of light exercise that you can do, such as yoga, pilates, barre, swimming and cycling. Do it 30-90 minutes before breaking the fast.
Adequate sleep, can increase endurance so that you don't get sick easily when fasting, reduce stress, improve mood, maintain concentration and stay productive all day. Adequate sleep is about 6-8 hours every night. If you experience sleep disturbances, you can try reducing smartphone use before going to bed and using aromatherapy.
Hopefully the 7 tips above can help you keep your body fit during fasting. If you have complaints while fasting, see a doctor immediately to consult.
