JAKARTA - When fasting, it is not uncommon for a person to feel that his body is becoming weak. This of course can interfere with daily activities that must be done, such as school or work.

Please note that some habits are often done without realizing that make the body weak during fasting. What are these habits? Check out the following reviews, reported by Cornell Health, on Monday, March 3, 2025.

1. Sleep is not enough and quality

Sleep that is not enough and has no quality can cause the body to become weak during fasting. It can't be denied that the sleep pattern often falls apart because when fasting you have to wake up early in the morning for dawn.

Namun, Anda bisa mengatasi hal tersebut dengan tidur lebih cepat. Dengan tidur lebih awal, waktu tidur juga akan cukup dan berkualitas, sehingga sahur bangun tetap segar dan siap menjalani puasa dengan energi penuh.

2. Not much protein consumption

Protein intake is very important for the body, including when fasting. If lacking, the body can limp quickly, because protein plays an important role in maintaining metabolism.

Protein also gives the effect of being full longer than carbohydrates and fats. So, so that energy does not run out quickly during fasting, make sure your suhoor consists of a diet that contains a lot of protein.

3. Lack of water

Lack of water intake or dehydration can make the body weak, dizzy, and difficult to focus. Dehydration can occur because the body does not get enough water intake when fasting, to replace lost fluids through urine to sweat.

Therefore, in order not to become weak during the day while fasting, make sure you consume enough water. Drink two glasses of water when breaking the fast, a minimum of four glasses of water at night after breaking the fast, and two glasses of water when suhoor.
