Ramadan is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection and community. This means abstaining from both food and drink from sunrise to sunset.

It’s crucial to prioritise staying hydrated during Ramadan and to listen to your body and rest when needed. During Ramadan, it's common to feel tired or low on energy, especially in the afternoons. So, take it easy when you can and make sure to get enough sleep at night. By taking care of your body and staying hydrated, you'll be better able to focus on the spiritual aspects of the month.

While dehydration can happen to anyone at any time of year, it's is especially highlighted during Ramadan when fasting makes you even more prone to dehydration. We cover everything you need to know about staying hydrated during Ramadan 2023.

What is hydration?

Hydration is essential to living and breathing. In fact, it's the most abundant substance in the human body and makes up about 70% of our weight. Hydration supports important body functions like digestion, circulation and detoxification. It also regulates temperature and helps with muscle and joint health. Not to mention keeping us full so that we eat less food overall... a benefit during Ramadan when you're fasting from sunrise until sunset.

Why is it important to hydrate during Ramadan?

Staying hydrated is crucial during Ramadan, especially since you’re fasting for an extended time. Hydration is essential for our bodies to function properly, and we need it to survive. When we don't drink enough hydrating fluids, we can experience a range of unpleasant symptoms, and these symptoms can make fasting even more challenging.

It’s also important to be aware of your hydration levels during fasting. Why? Because many who practice Ramadan experience dehydration when they don't drink enough. And that usually happens when they’re not aware of what their body needs.

But how do you know if you're dehydrated? Here are some early signs...

·       Headaches
·       Dry eyes
·       Dry mouth and throat
·       Tiredness or fatigue
·       Uncontrollable thirst
·       Dizziness or light-headedness
 
To add to the list, dehydration can make our bodies work harder to perform even basic functions, which can be especially challenging during Ramadan.
