THINGS TO BE AVOIDED DURING RAMADAN
__________________________________________
1. Don't sleep during the day and pray all night . By doing this you are converting the day into night and the night into day, which is not the purpose of fasting.

2. Avoid being lazy and inactive during the day.

3. Don't waste time playing games during the day. Rather , please Allah by increasing in your worship of him .

4. Avoid having Iftar parties. Ramadan wasn't 't meant to be a food extravaganza .

5. Don't ask your wife to spend Ramadan in the Kitchen . Eat something light and quick.

6. Spend the last 10 days worshipping Allah rather than trying to prepare for Eid ! A day that is better than a thousand months is in these last 10 days . You can' t afford to miss this.

7. Don't stay awake the full night . Your body has a right over you, and when it wants rest, then rest.

8. Avoid excessive socialising after Taraweeh

9. Avoid shopping a lot in Ramadan.

10. Don't eat the full night .

11. Don't loiter around at night rather than
worshipping Allah .

12. Eid doesn't require loads of preparation. Don't fall into this trap ! Keep it simple, and it will be blessed

Common Mistakes in Ramadan

1. Drinking large amounts of water at iftaar time
- Why : Filling the stomach with water is more strenuous to it than with food.
- Solution : have a few sips at iftaar then a glass after every two hours .

2. Exercising directly after iftaar.
- Why : the body 's blood flow is concentrated around the stomach at that time.
- Solution : Exercise after two hours of eating
to ease digestion .

3. Chewing and swallowing food fast .
- Why : chewing food slowly can speed up digestion and help maintain your weight.

4. Having dessert directly after iftaar
- Why : they make you drowsy and sleepy
- Solution : leave at least a two hour gap between iftaar and dessert to stay fresh and awake for ishaa and taraweeh prayers

5. Consuming foods with high amounts of sodium
- Why : Sodium triggers thirst through out the
fasting hours of the day
- Solution : instead , eat foods that are high in potassium , they retain water and suppress your thirst.
# Bananas are high in potassium . A banana at Sahur time can control your thirst level through out the day.

# Best sources of potassium for Sahur time:
- bananas
- milk
- dates
- avocados
- pumpkin
- peas
- dark chocolate

# Worst choices for Sahur :
- pizza
- fast food in general
- cheese

# Best choices for Sahur:
- potato
- rice
- dates
- whole grain bread
- banana

# Drinking lots of water at sahur is important , but not as much as drinking it through out your non- fasting hours .

May Almighty Allah spare our lives to witness more of this Ramadan with sound health - Amin.

Please do not keep this reminder to yourself, share with your beloved brothers and sisters .
