Why Is Hydration Important During Ramadan?
Fasting during Ramadan is both a spiritual and physical experience. However, abstaining from food and water for long hours can lead to dehydration—especially in hot climates. The body loses water through sweating, breathing, and digestion, so it's essential to replenish fluids during Suhoor and Iftar to maintain energy, concentration, and overall health.
Signs of Dehydration to Watch For
When you’re not properly hydrated, you may experience:
- Dry mouth and lips
- Dizziness or fatigue
- Headaches
- Dark-colored urine
- Muscle cramps
Ignoring these signs can lead to severe dehydration, which may affect your health and daily activities.
How to Stay Hydrated While Fasting
-
Consume Electrolytes
Water alone might not be enough. Electrolytes help your body retain fluids and prevent dehydration. Hydralyte is a medically approved electrolyte solution designed to quickly replace lost minerals and rehydrate your body after fasting. -
Drink Enough Water
Aim to drink at least 8 glasses between Iftar and Suhoor to compensate for the fluids lost during the day. -
Avoid Caffeinated and Sugary Beverages
Drinks like coffee, tea, and sodas can lead to further fluid loss and increase the risk of dehydration. -
Eat Water-Rich Foods
Include foods such as cucumbers, watermelon, oranges, and yogurt in your meals to help maintain proper hydration. -
Start Your Iftar the Right Way
Begin your meal with dates and water to gradually rehydrate your body before enjoying your main course.
Why Choose Hydralyte During Ramadan?
Hydralyte is a WHO-approved electrolyte solution designed for rapid rehydration. Unlike sugary drinks, it offers the perfect balance of electrolytes with a low sugar content, making it a healthy option to replenish fluids after fasting.
