Dos
Stay Hydrated
Dehydration can cause headaches, dizziness, and fatigue, making it difficult to perform daily activities. Drinking enough water is essential during Ramadan, especially in hot weather. You can also hydrate yourself by consuming fruits and vegetables that have high water content. Make sure you're not overdosing on those sugary drinks; instead, you can try opting for herbal teas that are refreshing yet nourishing, or even you can opt for a ginger brew.
Be Conscious of Portions
It's important to be conscious of your portions during Ramadan. Overeating can lead to weight gain and other health problems, while eating too little can leave you feeling weak and exhausted. Eat a balanced diet and listen to your body's signals. Stop eating when you feel full, and avoid overeating during Iftar.
Do Maintain Your Medical Habits
If you have a medical condition, it's important to maintain your medical habits during Ramadan. Consult your doctor if you are unsure about any medications or treatments. If necessary, you can adjust your fasting schedule by breaking your fast or taking medication as needed.
Recite the Quran
Reciting the Quran can reduce stress and anxiety and provide calm and inner peace. It can also help you connect with your spirituality and improve your mental health. Set aside time each day to read and reflect on the Quran.
Do Charity
Charity is an important part of Ramadan. It's a time to give back to the community and help those in need. You can donate to charity organisations or volunteer your time to help others. Giving back can improve your mental health and provide a sense of fulfilment.

Don'ts
Don't Skip Suhoor
Suhoor is a meal eaten before dawn to prepare the body for the upcoming fast. The meal is intended to provide essential nutrients and energy that help to fuel the body all day. Skipping suhoor can cause hunger, pangs, weakness, and fatigue. In addition, eating a balanced meal during suhoor can help regulate blood sugar levels, reducing the likelihood of overeating during Iftar.
Don't Overeat During Iftar
Overeating during Iftar can cause digestive problems and lead to weight gain. It's important to break your fast with light snacks such as dates, small bowls of soup, and a ginger shot, followed by a balanced meal. A balanced meal should include whole grains, lean protein, vegetables, and fruits.
Don't Hold Grudges
Negative emotions such as anger, frustration, and resentment can cause stress, which can have a negative impact on your health. Ramadan is a time to forgive and let go of grudges. Forgiveness and compassion can reduce stress and improve mental health.
Don't Eat Unhealthy Foods
Fried, salty, and high-sugar foods can lead to weight gain, high blood pressure, and other health problems. Opt for healthier alternatives such as ginger brews, dates, lemonades infused with organic honey, etc. These foods can provide energy and nutrition without the negative effects of unhealthy foods.
Do Not Accidentally Swallow Water
Accidentally swallowing water while rinsing your mouth or taking a bath can break your fast. Be mindful of this and take extra care when performing these activities. Rinse your mouth with water without swallowing or use a floss to clean your teeth.
