Ramadan Mubarak! As we enter this month of fasting, we want to share some tips for healthy fasting to support your overall health and wellbeing.
Stay hydrated: Make sure to drink plenty of water during non-fasting hours to avoid dehydration. Avoid sugary drinks and opt for water, herbal teas, and fresh juices.
Eat balanced meals: During non-fasting hours, focus on eating nutrient-dense foods that are rich in fiber, protein, and healthy fats. This can help keep you full and energized throughout the day.
Avoid processed foods: Try to minimize your intake of processed foods, which can be high in unhealthy fats, sugar, and salt. Instead, choose whole, unprocessed foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Eat protein and healthy fats at sohour: To balance blood sugar and give a feeling of satiety, make sure to include protein and healthy fats in your pre-dawn meal (sohour). Examples include eggs, nuts, avocados, and olive oil.
Exercise mindfully: While fasting, it's important to be mindful of your body's energy levels. You may need to adjust your exercise routine to avoid overexertion during fasting hours.
Get enough sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night to support your body's natural healing and regeneration processes.
Remember, fasting can be a powerful tool for promoting health and wellbeing when done correctly. If you have any questions or concerns about fasting during Ramadan, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Wishing you a happy and healthy Ramadan!
