is drinking enough water 
At iftar, I cant have more then half a glass of it … due to longer fasting hours , its so hard to keep on with enough water intake…
Sehri time , cant have more then a glass … its just not enough , is it ..
Do you guys take specific care of the water intake during ramadan? how do you do it?
Re: My dillema in Ramadan ...
Your water needs depend on your activity level and your lifestyle. That myth that you have to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day is over rated and has been proven wrong.
I drink one glass at aftaar and one at sahar and a cup of tea. I am indoors all day in an air conditioned office and at home the AC is on 24x7 so my water needs are not drastic. When I do some light exercise in the evening before aftaar then I end up drinking two glasses of water.

Mirch that sounds good 
4-5 glasses is good enough , is it?

Probably the actaul thing is that you need to take that much amount of fluids in a day that you unrinate four times a day at least.
I think one should drink two glasses of water after taking a date and then finish aftar + dinner at the same time. And then drink two more glasses before sleeping. And before eating Sehri two glasses will fulfill you need of the day.

It is good enough for me in Ramazan. During other months I drink more. Over the weekends I drink even more as I am mostly outdoors.

I guess as long as you're not feeling dehydrated, you're good to go :D
Re: My dillema in Ramadan ...
I put a berocca or gatorade powder in my water, it's easier to drink at Sehri time than plain water, as where i live is very hot and dehydrating. Why don't you try that?
Re: My dillema in Ramadan ...
Don't forget that many of the foods you eat also contain water in them.....so you don't necessarily need to drink a glass of water to meet your water intake needs.
Fruit, for example, naturally contains water (think of the fruit chaat you eat). Soup contains water. Salad contains water, etc.
Re: My dillema in Ramadan ...
If you are a late sleeper drink water as much as you can, a glass an hour is enough, until you sleep. Also you can replace simple water in sehri with a glass of fresh squeezed lemon juice with a pinch of salt added for the extra nourishment and a better taste.
Re: My dillema in Ramadan ...
I eat two khajoors in the sehri and two khajoors in the Iftar...and neither i feel hungry nor thirsty. try it. Khajoors are very nutritious.
Re: My dillema in Ramadan ...
well the once you open your fast, keep a water a water bottle with you and keep drinking until you go to bed.
Re: My dillema in Ramadan ...
No worries CB, i am in the same boat:p
Drinking green tea after iftar quenches thirst. You feel light afterwards so you are able to take in more water till you go to bed.

Re: My dillema in Ramadan ...
I have a glass of water straight after I open my roza with a kajoor. Then I have atleast 2 glasses with dinner.
At sehri I can only manage 1 and a half glasses maximum.
