Common Mistakes During Ramadhan


1. Drinking

Milkshakes made with syrups etc on a daily basis
- Why: It contains high amounts of sugar, additives and colourants


- Solution: If you have to, drink it twice a week maximum




2. Drinking large amounts of water at iftaar time

- Why: Filling the stomach with water is more strenuous to it than with food. 


- Solution: have a few sips at iftaar then a glass after every two hours.




3. Exercising directly after iftaar.

- Why: the body’s blood flow is concentrated around the stomach at that time.


- Solution: Exercise after two hours of eating to ease digestion.




4. Chewing and swallowing food fast.

- Why: chewing food slowly can speed up digestion and help maintain your weight



5. Having dessert directly after iftaar

- Why: they make you drowsy and sleepy 


- Solution: leave at least a two hour gap between iftaar and dessert to stay fresh and awake for isyak and tarawih prayers


6. Consuming foods with high amounts of sodium

- Why: Sodium triggers thirst through out the fasting hours of the day


- Solution: instead, eat foods that are high in potassium, they retain water and supress your thirst.
