YOGYAKARTA - When performing fasting in the month of Ramadan, of course, we really need to maintain fluids in the body. There is a schedule to drink water during fasting that you can actually apply so you don't get dehydrated, aka lack of fluids. Curious? Let's see the following review!
Generally, the human body needs at least 2 liters of water per day, or the equivalent of 8 glasses of water. This is because our body 80 percent is water. Therefore, lack of water intake can affect our body's condition, such as dehydration.
When fasting, of course, we are required not to eat and drink until the call to prayer is Maghrib. Even though we know that our bodies will continue to carry out their activities as usual, how do we do so that we don't lack fluids?
When fasting, the intake of fluids in the body must be fulfilled. This is very important to do in order to avoid the risk of dehydration which is characterized by dizziness, weakness, dry lips, and dark urine. In order to meet the fluid needs when fasting, you are required to apply the 2-4-2 pattern, namely:
1. Two glasses of water at the time of breaking the fast
To make it healthier, make it easier to break the fast with new water to continue with other meals. When breaking the fast, make sure to drink at least 2 glasses of water or more periodically, according to your needs. Drinking water when breaking the fast can help replace body fluids that are lost after a day of activities in the middle of fasting.
2. Four glasses of water at dinner
Next, it is recommended to drink water regularly at night until bedtime. Drink 4 glasses of water at night with one glass of water distributed before eating, one glass of water after dinner, one glass of water after tarawih, and one glass of water before bed. Drink water before eating and after eating can help smooth the digestive process of food.
3. Two glasses of water during Sahur
Sahur is advised to drink at least 2 glasses of water. You can share it, namely one glass when you wake up and eat and one glass after eating suhoor. Given the meaning of food and drinks to give your body energy throughout the fast, don't forget to eat sahur. Not only that, don't forget to drink water so that your body's fluid needs can be met.
Are there good drinks consumed other than water? The answer is there, but it's a good idea to always drink water according to your body's needs. Water has several benefits for the body, ranging from protecting the body to staying energetic, improving digestion, good for the body's metabolism, and maintaining health and skin moisture.

Not only water, there are several other types of drinks that can be consumed to help protect health and body fluids, such as coconut water, sweet tea, honey, and fruit urine. Drinks that have a sweet taste are said to help restore body energy so that they are not weak.
But keep in mind, you should stay away from using artificial sweeteners and don't miss the consumption of sweet foods and drinks. After a day of fasting, generally the willingness to consume sweet tastes will increase, therefore it is important to recognize the reasonable limits.
Not only water and sweet drinks, other healthy food consumption also needs to be observed. That way, fasting will be easy and the health of the body is always maintained. Also read: Can Fasting Can Reduce Blood Sugar?
