Fasting can make us potentially healthy. It can, however, be on the reverse, bringing no advantages but hunger and thirst. There are some wise tips to materialize this purpose of being healthy:

Don’t miss eating a before daybreak meal
Eating a before-daybreak meal is one of requirements in doing fasting. Although it is not obligatory, it has a significant function to provide us with nutrition and store energy for activities in time of fasting. In order to obtain health advantages, the menu for before-daybreak meal should be fibrous and hold high protein, however avoid consuming highly sweet food. Fibrous food slows down our digestive process, on the contrary highly sweet food quickens our digestive process consequently feelings of thirst and hunger come faster during the day. A daybreak–approaching before-daybreak meal is strongly recommended since it can make our energy last longer.

Don’t postpone breaking fast if the time has come. The most necessary thing in time of breaking fast is to restore energy. Accordingly eat simple carbohydrate sources available in sweet food, syrup and other easily digestible food. Subsequent to praying and resting for a while, advisably we eat main courses such as rice and side dishes but in moderate portion. Snack or soft drink can be eaten after ‘taraweh’ prayer in small portion.

Heavy activities or sports is of course prohibited yet the light ones are even recommended. Such light sports as jogging, gymnastics, walking are fully recommended particularly by the coming of breaking fast time. ‘Taraweh’ prayer is an activity that can be look after fitness.

Consume more water
