Fasting is in fact helps the healing process which helps in improving your health and provides needed rest to the digestive system. Let’s see some of the fasting tips during Ramadhan that you can implement.

Practice Suitable Diet
Fasting is a good way to practice diet however don’t let it brings negative effects for you. It is necessary to control the diet even after successfully completing the fasting period where overeating after fasting would result in the drastic increase of weight. Our diet during Ramadhan should not differ too much from our normal diet and make it as simple as possible.

Plan Your Meal
The meal that you consume before and after fasting is an important meal to be considered while fasting. One of the important fasting tips to implement is drinking sufficient water before you start fasting. This can avoid the drastic loss of fluid in your body. Prefer taking slow-digesting foods which contain grains and seeds such as barley, wheat, oats and beans. They are better compared to fast-burning foods which contain ingredients such as sugar and white flour. You can also have fruit or vegetable juice that is rich in calories and nutrients that can build new cells and helps you to stay fit while fasting.

It’s recommended to plan your meal for breakfasting too. Don’t consume too much foods and waters while breakfasting.

In normal days you might get your daily energy from consuming foods at day however while fasting your energy will be drained quickly if you’re using it too much. We might heard the stories of past warriors who were fighting in war while fasting, but you have to know your own ability. Try to save your energy by avoiding too much activities and always stay calm so you can avoid your body to use much energy. Relax yourself or if you want to do simple activity, take a walk as a kind of refreshment for your body and mind.

Never would have imagined that Fasting would be an ideal way of dieting. I’m into some diet program not exceeding to the pointing of having no meal for a day. I think ones have to experience this ramadhan in order to get used on this kind of dieting.

I’ve got to work with muslims back in Dubai. And during ramadan, they had to fast and so we (christians) did just for curiosity. We wanted to find out how does it feel to fast to think that we are not used to that. Imagine, they can’t even swallow their own saliva, they can’t even brush their teeth and they have to wait for IFTAR to come to dine. Wooh!! It’s a challenge indeed.
But in return, without any intention at all, we lost weight which was the advantage of the challenge. Since then we did it as a diet..challenging but amazing!
