Ramadan has entered the middle of the month, and the body has begun to adapt to new rhythms in eating and sleeping. Throughout the day, the metabolism works to adjust to keep it powerful during activities. However, even though the body has adapted, maintaining health remains a priority so that worship can be carried out optimally until the end of Ramadan.

Over time, many people began to be careless about maintaining a healthy diet, such as breaking up with heavy foods that were less controlled or skipping sahur. This can increase the risk of digestive disorders such as bloating, winding, and energy imbalances that make fasting feel heavier.

Therefore, it is important to maintain a balance of nutritional intake and choose food and drinks that can support the body's resistance. To maintain comfort during fasting, consuming red ginger at dawn and breaking the fast can be the right solution. The warm red ginger content, as well as dates that give energy to help maintain the body's resistance so that worship remains smooth until the end of Ramadan.

dr. Adam Prabata, MD, PhD, an internal medicine resident at the Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo National Center General Hospital as well as a health content creator revealed the body's vulnerability during fasting in the holy month.

"Research shows that the wind entry rate and digestive disorders can increase in the month of Ramadan (when fasting), because there is a change from the time and amount of food we usually consume," said dr. Adam in an official broadcast from Bejo Jehe Merah received by VOI.

Sahur has a crucial role in maintaining energy throughout the day. However, in the middle of Ramadan, not a few choose to miss the sahur in the hope of relying on food from the night before. In fact, good sahur reduces the risk of health problems such as entering the wind and weakness due to an empty stomach for too long. It is also important to maintain intake that is not only filling, but also helps the body stay prime throughout the day.

When breaking the fast, choosing the right food is also important. Prophet Muhammad SAW recommends breaking the fast with dates. This recommendation is appropriate because dates are enriched in natural sugar content that is quickly absorbed by the body, helping to restore energy quickly. In addition, to maintain digestive health, red ginger can also be an option, because it can reduce bloating, and increase endurance.

Doctor Adam added tips for staying healthy during fasting by maintaining nutritional balance.

In addition to adequate rest and optimal nutrition, using herbs such as red ginger and dates can also help with conditions like this, and can support the immune system. Red ginger can act as anti-inflammatory, warm the body, and can help digestion. Medically, dates contain antioxidants such as phenolate acid and flavonoids that help the body fight free radicals and support the metabolic system," he explained.

Many people complain that the stomach stops making fasting feels heavier, thus encouraging them to break up with an unbalanced menu. However, this actually adds to the gas content in the digestive system.

At this time, the ginger drink with its red ginger content can help stimulate digestive enzymes, so that the stomach feels more comfortable and the digestive process becomes smoother. Red ginger helps warm the body, reduce the risk of bloating and nausea, and supports endurance with its antioxidant content. Consuming it during sahur and breaking it can help the body stay fit throughout the day during fasting.

In addition, it is also enriched in dates that are quickly absorbed by the body, maintains a balance of blood sugar, and helps restore conditions after a day of fasting. Dates themselves are privileged in Islamic teachings and are recommended as a breaking food by the Prophet Muhammad SAW. The combination of red ginger and dates in Bejo Ginger Merah can be the right choice to maintain health during Ramadan.

In a video content, Husein Ja'far Al Hadar, ulama and creators of Islamic content also warn of the importance of being aware of the wind when fasting.

"Not all symptoms of weakness, fever and nausea during fasting are caused by maag disease, it could be symptoms of the wind coming in," said Habib Husein while recommending to keep fasting.

Furthermore, Habib Husein explained that the dates referred to in the Qur'an as fruit that is blessed and has many health benefits. "The dates not only provide energy, but are also believed to protect the body from poison, so it is highly recommended to be consumed during breaking the fast," explained Habib Husein Ja'far.

Breaking the fast is recommended with sweet ones, and dates are the right choice. Not only religious recommendations, this statement is also scientifically supported. Because it is a natural source of sugar that is easily absorbed by the body, effective dates help return the body's metabolism to normal after fasting for a full day.
