JAKARTA - Entering the month of Ramadan, this is the right time to think about what you can do to prepare yourself for the holy month. Changes in eating and sleeping habits can disturb the body and mind. But if you plan it early and start adjusting your routine, you can minimize this annoyance and perform fasting more comfortably.
Weight gain is not unusual during Ramadan. Disordered eating hours, excessive appetite tendencies, and the abundance of food fried or containing flour are the factors that cause the waist circumference to enlarge. Launching the Cleveland Clinic, Monday, March 3, deal with this by planning a food menu first. By identifying menus that you want to prepare every day, you can reduce the amount of unhealthy food and introduce healthy menus or healthier cooking methods.
If you have health problems ahead of Ramadan, you should immediately visit a doctor. Doctors will be able to give the right diagnosis and handle whether this affects your intention to fast during the holy month.
For patients with ongoing medical conditions, this is the right opportunity to discuss your medical treatment during Ramadan. You can discuss whether it is medically recommended for you to fast or whether it's okay to skip fasting this year.
During Ramadan, there are two main meal times that are eaten outside the fasting hours, namely breaking the fast after sunset and suhoor which are eaten before sunrise. Reduced intake of fatty foods and reduced snacks during sahur or breaking the fast can help the body undergo light fasting.
