JAKARTA - Staying powerful during fasting we need to pay attention to adequate diet, hydration, and rest.

Several ways are to ensure suhoor with a balanced nutritious food that contains complex carbohydrates, protein, and fiber so that energy can last longer. Drink enough water when suhoor and open to prevent dehydration.

In addition, avoid consuming high- sugar and excess fat foods that can cause weakness. Mild physical activity such as walking or stretching can also help maintain body fitness during fasting.

Apart from meeting the needs of the body's nutrients and fluids, building good sleep habits is also important to maintain stamina during Ramadan.

fitness coach Melita Mutia suggested maintaining a consistent sleep pattern so that the body can adapt to new rhythms during fasting.

"Building good sleep habits or good sleeping habits for one month is very useful so that the body is used to rhythm," Melita said as quoted by ANTARA.

He emphasized the importance of keeping a sleep schedule that is not too different every day during the month of Ramadan so that the quality of rest remains optimal.

Melita also reminded that there should be a pause between large meal times and bedtime so that the body has enough time to digest the food well.

"The last big meal is suggested two hours before the sleep schedule," he said.

The same thing applies when suhoor. Providing a break between eating and other activities such as dawn prayers can help digestion work more optimally.

In addition, Melita suggested scheduling a short nap for 15 to 30 minutes to recharge and reduce the effects of lack of sleep at night.

According to him, exercise with light to moderate intensity can also help maintain body fitness during fasting.

He added that morning sun exposure is also important to help fulfill vitamin D and increase endurance.
