Your blood sugar is very sensitive after a long fast, says Kharma, and prioritizing fiber, protein, fats, and starches at iftar will help prevent the crash.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#5- Drink lots of water, then drink some more. <\/strong>As soon as you feel thirsty, that means you\u2019re already <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/health.cornell.edu\/about\/news\/ramadan-fasting#:~:text=thirst%20is%20a%20signal%20that%20your%20body%20is%20ALREADY%20dehydrated\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">dehydrated<\/a>. To help maintain your hydration for your next day of fasting, make sure to keep drinking fluids after iftar and throughout the night, even if you don\u2019t feel the need. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But that doesn\u2019t mean you should chug<\/strong><strong>\u2014<\/strong> too much water intake at once can dilute your electrolytes. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Avoid the juice\u2026<\/strong> We know that karkade, sobia, doum, and tamr hendi are difficult not to indulge in, but Kharma warns that their high sugar content will spike your blood glucose after a long fast, which may contribute to the infamous post-iftar food coma.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u2026 and the coffee.<\/strong> We\u2019re so sorry.

A balanced iftar should include fiber, protein, and complex carbs. Suhoor, on the other hand, is a totally different story \u2014 because it\u2019s the last meal before a long fast, and it should be hydrating: Think cucumbers, lettuce, strawberries, yoghurt. Maybe a smoothie, too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>If you eat the same as iftar, which is usually fatty and not easily digested, your system<\/strong><strong> will need to retain water to help with digestion. <\/strong>According to Andraws, suhoor should comprise mostly fruits and vegetables, but you can have those alongside your favorite suhoor food. You should try to avoid meats, processed food, and sugar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#7-<\/strong><strong>Suhoor is key for a comfortable day of fasting. <\/strong>Keep an eye out for future you \u2014 compose a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/health.cornell.edu\/about\/news\/ramadan-fasting#:~:text=5.%20A%20few%20secrets%20to%20a%20successful%20sehri%20(pre%2Dsunrise%20meal)\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">balanced meal<\/a>, including whole grains (whole meal bread, rice, oatmeal), fruits and vegetables, protein (milk, yogurt, eggs, nuts), and healthy fats (nuts, avocados, olives).

Sleep deprivation will eat away at your energy reserves and make fasting and being productive a bigger challenge. According to Andraws, the lack of sleep can also wreck havoc on your hormones, which not only affects your energy levels but also your hunger signals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EXERCISE<\/strong><strong>- <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">Don\u2019t skip this section yet.
