⚡✨Suhoor
Eating a wholesome suhoor would not only prep you for the long day but also ensure that your energy levels do not go too low. Also, it is important that you enjoy this meal instead of rushing through it.
⚡✨Fiber and Protein
As much as it is important to eat suhoor, it is important to eat it right. Even if you don’t feel like it, it is wiser to fill up on high-fiber foods that will help you stay satiated for long hours. Also, the fact that your goal is to maintain your muscle mass, your meals should include protein. Opt for whole grains, fruits, dairy and eggs that play a key role in staving off hunger.
⚡✨Hydration
Drink as much fluid as possible during suhoor as well as iftar. Plain water is always great but you can make it more interesting with fresh juices, smoothies, protein shakes
⚡✨Power nap
Sufficient sleep is one of the key foundations for overall wellness. So, if you are trying to stay fit during your fast,
⚡✨Avoid fried food
Fried treats will hamper your digestion and further slow down your metabolism, in turn making you too lazy to even consider working out.
✨⚡Avoid over eating
Mindful eating is not just about watching what you eat. It is also about watching how much you eat. It is natural to want to hog at the dinner table after an entire day of fasting but overeating will again lead to lethargy, stomach cramps, and digestive disorders.
⚡✨Walk
You need to fuel yourself up after your workout is over. Make sure you give your body time to digest the meal. Go for a short walk in the park or move around for about 30 minutes after you eat.
⚡✨Avoid exertion
You need to keep physical activity to a minimum when you are fasting. Avoid the sun and avoid exhausting yourself with too much moving around. However, that doesn’t mean you should be lazing all day.
⚡✨Low intensity cardio
Keep the cardio exercises low in frequency and intensity during Ramadan. You don’t want to over-exert yourself.
