5 Best Ways To Cope With Ramadan (fasting) by Jovago: 12:17pm On Jun 18, 2015 |
Ramadan is one of the key pillars of Islam. Within the next few days, adherents of the religion would commence fasting in different parts of the world. They would abstain from food and water for about 29 to 30 days. This spiritual duty could be energy-sapping and distressing, but you have no choice but to engage in it. Well, as usual, Jovago.com your No 1 Hotel Booking Portal offers tips on how to survive fasting which is usually from dawn to dusk. Avoid Thirst Prompting Foods Foods like biscuits, potato chips, chocolate, peanuts amongst others are all thirst triggers. It is advisable to avoid them if you don’t want to keep ingesting spittle to make up for water during the fasting. Avoiding these foods would keep the body hydrated! Reduce Caffeine Intake The effects of caffeine can either be good or bad for the body depending on the level of your intake. Caffeine can cause nervousness, restlessness, insomnia, frequent urination and increased heartbeat. More often than not, coffee, tea, cocoa and energy drinks contain caffeine. It may be a bit uncomfortable to keep visiting the bathroom often and sleeping in the office. Just stay off caffeine! Consume Carbs One of the do’s of fasting is to wake up at dawn to eat. The question is what are you eating at this time? What you eat will go a long way in sustaining you during a day’s fasting. It is, thus, better to eat carbohydrates (of course, because of the energy it gives the body) rather than proteinous foods. Eba, rice, Amala, and semo, amongst many others, are some Nigerian carbs. Be Prepared This is the motto of the Boy Scout. It can probably be applied to fasting. Being prepared is one of the surest ways to cope with fasting. That’s pre-Ramadan fasting. Aside from the month of fasting, Muslims can also fast on other days. So, to prevent the pangs and pains that come with especially the first day of Ramadan, it is worthwhile to engage in pre-Ramadan fasting. Don’t Engage in Strenuous Activities Obviously, it is logical not to engage in vigorous activities. Doing this would help retain necessary nutrients required by the body.
