Ramadan Fasting : Maintaining energy levels throughout Ramadan 2024

Maintaining energy levels throughout Ramadan 2024

In Ramadan 2024 During the initial days of Ramadan Fasting, we may feel a sudden dip in energy levels due to the long hours of fasting. This dip in energy affects our routine and makes us feel tired throughout the day. However, as your body adjusts to the fasts, you find yourself getting less tired and more adapted to the routine. 

However, you can still find yourself losing energy if you do not prioritize your health while Ramadan fasting. This kind of intermittent fasting has health benefits but combined with decreased hours of sleeping, you may find yourself feeling very low and out of it throughout the day.

So strap yourselves in and let’s go through some tips to keep your energy bar from failing in this Ramadan Fasting !

Keep yourself Cool during Ramadan Fasting

In some countries, Ramadan 2024 falls under summer (especially when it is at its peak) and the temperatures soar high during that time. As such, you shouldn’t go out if it isn’t necessary while fasting because it can have a negative impact on your health. Heat strokes and severe dehydration are not uncommon cases during summer months particularly during Ramadan 2024 season. The heat is immense and it will suck all the hydration that you had in Suhoor time so stay indoors during such times!

A proper Suhoor and Suhoor time

Do not sacrifice your Suhoor for sleep. This meal is the one that keeps you energized throughout the day and ensures that you have an un-problematic fast. It is also not required for you to gorge on fast-food during this time under the mistaken illusion that the carbs will keep you going for the rest of the day. No they won’t. They will only help you add on weight and nothing else. Eat home-cooked and healthy meals that consist of vegetables, lean meats and pulses.

Appropriate sleep and schedule

During Ramadan Fasting in Ramadan 2024, there are times when you are short on sleep and that can contribute to you feeling tired during the daytime hours. Try to get into bed as early as possible before midnight to ensure that you feel refreshed and energetic for the fast ahead. Do not spend the entire night awake and entire day asleep as it will defeat the purpose of Ramadan fasting. There will be no point in even trying to fast if you spend your days like this, so fix your time table or schedule and prioritize your bedtime.

Light activity

 Conserving your energy during fasting doesn’t need to be done by sleeping it away. Neither should you adhere yourself to one place. Keep moving but keep the activity light and gentle. Do not perform heavy tasks while Ramadan fasting as it could land a hit on your energy levels as well your health. Relax and conserve your energy throughout your fast by simple tasks or household chores that do not require exertion.

Conclusion

Energy levels depend upon a person’s age, Body-Mass Index, metabolism , gender and diet. What works for you might not work the same for somebody else. Do not be rash with your body and listen to its needs. With a proper Suhoor in Suhoor Time and an equally proper Iftar, you can maintain your energy as well as your health throughout the holy month so stay hydrated and full with nutrient-rich foods. Avoid outdoors if the weather is too harsh and prevent yourself from doing heavy work. Remember, Ramadan 2024 is all about worship and purity so do not hinder yourself by getting sick otherwise you will miss your chance at having the perfect, stress-free Ramadan Kareem!
