In these very long fasts what are your tips for keeping healthy?
I avoid juices in iftaar and just drink water and no fried stuff for me. I usually lose a ton of weight in Ramadan so hoping it is good aide effect this time too ![]()
Re: health and fitness in Ramadan
My daily eating routine would change and I am a bit afraid, I might end up gaining weight as we have short gap, eating and going to sleep is not good. I would make sure i am eating healthy items , milk shake, water melon juice, fruits but no fried stuff. And healthy oats cereal for sahoor.
Workout - I will freeze my membership, would try to do light workout after iftar but I don't think it would be possible, may be on weekends.

eat as usual
but no exercise at all
Re: health and fitness in Ramadan
The last 3 years I noticed I gained weight during Ramadan. I don't mind the gain.
Sehri (a combination of any protein, carb, and drink):
~ oats w/bananas or berries
~ pb&j sandwich
~ blended fruit smoothie
~ dates
~ water
~ eggs
~ yogurt
~ glass of water
Iftaari:
~ dates
~ roohafza in doodh (or milk and honey for a healthier choice)
~ fruit
~ glass of water
for dinner
~ pasta/casserole (w/meat and veggies)
~ baked fish or chicken over rice
Re: health and fitness in Ramadan
I am finding this ramzan very tough. No matter how hard I try I am constantly dehydrated. Very little time to replenish fluids.
Re: health and fitness in Ramadan
yeah its a long day, and time is short between iftari and sehri.
In North America the fasts are really long this year
