As the holy month of Ramadan draws to a close, preparing for joyous Eid celebrations involves smoothly transitioning from fasting to regular routines while preserving the healthy habits cultivated during this sacred time. The last Friday of Ramadan, known as Alvida Ramadan or Alvida Jumma, signifies bidding farewell to the month of fasting. It’s crucial to sustain these practices beyond Ramadan to continue benefiting from fasting throughout the year.
Here are some healthy habits to maintain post-fasting:
- Hydration: Aim to drink at least 10 glasses of water per day, as recommended by the World Health Organization. Including water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumber, and muskmelon can also contribute to hydration.
- Light Physical Activity: Incorporate walking or moderate exercise into your routine, aiming for several days a week if not daily. This helps manage weight and promotes overall well-being.
- Well-Balanced Diet: Focus on consuming whole foods rich in fiber, vitamins, and protein to provide essential nutrients to the body. Include whole grains, leafy green vegetables, fruits, yogurt, nuts, and seeds while limiting sugary and salty snacks.
- Quality Sleep: Ensure you get sufficient sleep to allow your body to rest and rejuvenate. Establish a relaxing bedtime routine and aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep to support overall well-being.
- Practice Self-care: Prioritize health checkups with medical professionals to identify any underlying conditions. Incorporate habits such as meditation or breathing exercises to promote relaxation and reduce stress.
- Maintain Fasting Habits: Consider fasting twice a week to aid in detoxification and regulate blood sugar levels. This practice also helps facilitate a smooth transition into Ramadan fasting in the future.
