YOGYAKARTA Meeting the needs of water during fasting is very important. This can help you in maintaining your health when holding back hunger and thirst for approximately 13 hours.
When imposing Ramadan fasting, you are advised to regulate the supply of fluids in the body. Just like the usual day, fluid intake when fasting is recommended not less than 2 liters a day. This volume is approximately equivalent to 8 glasses of water. If you do activities that drain a lot of sweat, then the need for fluid can be higher.
If the amount of fluid intake during fasting is lacking, you will become dehydrated, dry and cracked lips, and feel weak.
Meeting the needs of water during fasting not only prevents you from getting sick, but also makes your fast run smoothly.
Quoted from the Yankes page of the Ministry of Health, Tuesday, March 21, 2023, here are the benefits of meeting the needs of water during fasting:
Consumption of sufficient water while fasting can nourish the digestive tract. Moreover, complaints of constipation and maag illness often occur during the fasting month.
Chlorides contained in mineral water can support stomach work and increase intestinal work and bile production to process food. Thus, the digestive tract work system will become more optimal.
Not only that, water can also smooth the colon, so you can avoid constipation during fasting.
Drinking enough water when fasting can maintain the body's energy. Lack of fluids can make the body feel weak, tired easily, and not energized. If you break the fast, drinking water can make the body immediately active. This stimulates red blood cells to grow faster which produces more oxygen and energy.
Consumption of sufficient water also makes the body well hydrated. Drinking enough water can prevent dehydration after holding back thirst all day. Water is needed to maintain the balance of fluids in the body.
Meeting the needs of water while fasting keeps the body's metabolism maintained. This is because the content of manganese, chromatic, and magnesium in mineral water is able to help make the nutrient metabolism obtained from eating suhoor and open more optimally.
However, make sure to be active in moving and exercising regularly so that the body's metabolism increases.
In addition, you also have to stay well rested, eat healthy foods, and avoid stress.
Meeting the body's fluid needs by consuming mineral water while fasting can maintain skin health.
Drinking 8 glasses of water per day helps provide important nutrients for skin cells while increasing skin elasticity, thus making the skin look healthy and chewy.
Drinking warm water when breaking the fast can detoxify toxins in the body. Consumption of hot water can increase body temperature and make you sweat.
Sweating is one way for the body to expel toxins that accidentally enter the body.
Apart from sweat, poison can also be removed through urine. The more water you drink, the more urine you release to detoxify your body.
