Ramadan Week2 - Promotion and Campaign

During the long fasting days of Ramadan, drinking water is not an option, so thirst and dehydration is something we have to deal with. Avoid dehydration by following these advice:

Drink Water

Prepare for your day of fasting by drinking enough water throughout the night. Keep a bottle of water with you throughout the night and try to drink at least 2 cups every one hour.

Fashion Matters

Be careful when picking your daytime clothes during Ramadan as dark colours (like black) can affect the heat you attract towards you. Go for brighter colours instead such as white and sky blue (you don’t have to look like a rainbow, though).

Cold Showers

If you noticed, Ramadan is always a hot and stuffy month. Cold showers helps in many ways to keep you hydrated and feeling fresh while you take on the day under the sun. Try menthol-based soaps and shower baths to stay fresher for longer.

Plan your meals

Fruits are perfect for providing extra water while keeping you feeling full with its fiber. Sweet treats such as cakes, and caffeinated drinks on the other hand would make you feel like running to the loo often. This would lead to dehydration over time, so try to minimise on all these.

REDUCE DISCOMFORT BY GIVING THESE A TRY

BREAK YOUR FAST WITH HIGH FIBER FOODS

Eating three dates to break your fast is a traditional and healthy way to begin iftar. Dates are an excellent source of fiber.

DO NOT SKIP SUHOOR

Light breakfast needs to include vegetables, a serving of carbohydrates such as bread/bread roll made from wholewheat or protein-rich food such as dairy products.

CHOOSE HEALTHIER COOKING METHODS

Limit oily dishes during Ramadan as they can cause stomach discomfort, heartburn and indigestion. Opt for less oily dishes such as grilled meats and lots of vegetables.
