Tips for Healthy Ramadan Fasting

Fasting during Ramadan carries a high risk of dehydration as food and drink are limited to before sunrise and after sunset. Furthermore, as fasting individuals are encouraged to wake up very early to have their Suhoor (or pre-dawn meal), sleep deprivation and dehydration can lead to headaches.
1. Don't skip Suhoor (pre-dawn meal)
2. Don't overeat during Iftar (dinner)
3. Avoid eating fried foods, salty foods and high-sugar foods
4. Drink as much water as possible
A well-balanced diet is key to healthy fasting during Ramadan.
