Fasting during the month of Ramadan shouldn't hinder your productivity, OK, Beauties! The enthusiasm for working and studying at school or campus must remain as burning as on normal days. For this reason, you need to eat more fruit and vegetables so that your body remains healthy during the month of Ramadan.
Even so, the potential for the body to be less fit during Ramadan will still exist. It could be due to fatigue or lack of energy. If you are still strong, it is better to continue fasting rather than having to change it after Ramadan. As for how to do it, let's follow these tips for fasting when your body is not fit enough!
Try to eat Sahur with lots of protein

Sahur is highly recommended for Muslims who are fasting. This activity is also blessed with many rewards. So, it will be a big loss if you miss sahur, especially if your body is not in good shape.
So, for the sahur menu itself, you should consume more protein, such as tempeh, fish and chicken breast. Remember, the function of protein is to maintain the immune system, as reported by Healthline.
Apart from that, protein can also be used as a source of energy. Your body will be more enthusiastic even if you feel less fit!
Avoid Eating Fatty Foods

Fried foods such as French fries, pastels and tofu are tempting when breaking the fast. Eits, but you'd better avoid it, yes, Beauties! Instead of making you full, this actually makes your throat hoarse and your body aches. Apart from that, eating too much fried food can raise cholesterol.
Reported by WebMD, high cholesterol causes plaque buildup in the arteries which triggers heart attacks. Instead, eat steamed dishes. Examples include pepes, roulade and team fish.
Light Exercise

In the morning after sahur and morning prayers, don't go back to sleep, OK, Beauties. This kind of activity triggers stomach acid to rise. So what should you do if you don't feel well?
You can do a little exercise. Examples include morning walks, jogging, or simple exercise. It doesn't need to be every day, just 5 times a week for 30 minutes is enough.
Fulfill Body Fluids

Drinking water is important, you know, Beauties! Especially if the body is not fit enough, which can also be caused by a lack of body fluids.
Reported by MedicineNet, the normal consumption of water per day for each person is two liters. This can also help the digestive system. So, since you can't drink water at certain times during Ramadan, it's better to make a schedule. Eight to ten glasses of star fruit at the time of breaking the fast and sahur, yes.
Enough rest

The last tip for fasting when your body is not fit is to maintain an adequate sleep pattern. Since activities during the month of Ramadan tend to be busy, such as getting up early for sahur and tarawih prayers, it is better to consider sleeping early in the night.
This kind of agenda can give you more rest time so you won't be too tired when you wake up. That way you will be ready to fast the next day even if you are not feeling well.
Beauties, it's normal for your body to be less fit when fasting, right? If your body can still be compromised, try applying the tips above. You can still fast even if your body is not fit!
