🌙 Ramadan Fasting Tips 🌙

As Ramadan continues, here are some simple ways to support your health while fasting:

🥣 Have a nutritious Suhoor
Choose balanced foods with fibre, protein and healthy fats to help maintain energy throughout the day.

💧 Drink plenty of water
Stay hydrated between Iftar and Suhoor to reduce the risk of dehydration.

😴 Prioritise quality sleep
Adequate rest helps your body cope better with changes in routine.

🍟 Avoid unhealthy foods
Try to limit fried, sugary, and heavily processed foods, especially when breaking your fast.

If you have a long-term condition, such as diabetes, heart disease or high blood pressure, please speak to your GP before fasting to ensure it’s safe for you.

Wishing everyone observing Ramadan a healthy and peaceful month 💙
