Soon we will enter the Holy Month of Ramadan, a moment awaited by Muslims in all parts of the world. The atmosphere turns more solemn and full of blessings when Ramadan arrives, the month of fasting.
Although the challenge of fasting may be physically and mentally challenging for some people, the spirit of sharing and togetherness always surrounds every corner.
One of the most anticipated moments is breaking the fast with family. After a day of refraining from eating and drinking, it’s time to enjoy the delicious dishes and various menus lovingly prepared by the family. This atmosphere of togetherness not only brings joy but also strengthens the relationship.
Not only that, the month of Ramadan is also enlivened by the tradition of ngabuburit. This activity is not only a form of entertainment, but also a valuable time to strengthen social relationships with friends and loved ones. With various creative events and sharing activities, ngabuburit is a moment that many people look forward to to feel the warmth and joy together.
However, fasting also requires physical and mental readiness. Therefore, it is important to prepare yourself well to stay healthy and fit during Ramadan.
Here are some tips that can help you stay healthy and fit while fasting.
1. Have a Healthy Sahur
Sahur is the time to eat before starting a day of fasting. Make sure to eat foods that contain carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. Examples are oatmeal, eggs, fruits, and vegetables.
2. Avoid Excessive Fatty and Sweet Foods
Although tempting, avoid fatty and sweet foods that can make you feel tired and sleepy during fasting.
3. Avoid Bad Habits
Smoking and consuming caffeinated drinks can increase dehydration and make you feel hungry faster. Therefore, you should avoid these habits during fasting.
4. Do Light Exercise
Do light exercise such as walking or stretching after breaking the fast to keep your body fit and improve blood circulation.
5. Drink Enough Water
Make sure to drink enough water during sahur and iftar to avoid dehydration during fasting.
6. Get Enough Rest
Make sure to get enough rest at night to keep your body fresh and fit while fasting.
