While studies have shown that it isn’t possible to prevent colds by taking vitamin C every day over a long period of time, doing so did shorten the amount of time that people were ill by about 10 percent. In other words, a cold that would have lasted ten days was over in nine days.
The cold symptoms were also a bit milder in people who always took vitamin C. However, taking vitamin C didn’t shorten the length of colds in men and women who started taking it only after they became ill.
Taking very high doses of vitamin C regularly may cause diarrhea, so try to aim for around 100 milligrams of vitamin C per day in your diet.

Family meals foster love, warmth, security and feelings of belonging. Eating together as a family is not merely about food, but also about the wellbeing of one another.
In addition, dialogues during mealtimes provide an opportunity for the family to plan, learn, and bond with one another.
Moreover, they provide a chance to chat about the day’s events as parents give additional attention to their children, which is why they can provide a host of physical benefits along with emotional ones.

Drinking too much water at Suhoor will only lead to more fatigue during fasting.
There's always a right way for everything, and hydration is no different. Try to drink about 2 liters of water throughout the day and not just after midnight so that your body can stay hydrated for the whole day.
Also, you should try to avoid sweetened juices and salty or spicy foods as they cause your body to need more water.
