Ramadan season has started. For muslims, fasting is mandatory as a way to hold back lust. There are times when we easily get hungry during fasting. Here are some tips that might help you to pass day by day with ease.

  1. Take control of your eating.

Allowing yourself to experience hunger and to see how little food it takes to feel full again is a huge help in taking control of your eating.

  1. Keep your mind off of hunger and fatigue.

Our mind is an amazing tool. It can concentrate on one thing and completely ignore everything else. For example, maybe if someone hadn’t brought to your attention that your posture has slacked, the tension in your neck muscles or the feeling of your shoes against the floor, you wouldn’t have paid attention to it, neither would you have paid attention to all the background noises surrounding you at the moment. The same thing could happen with fasting. If you could focus on what you have to do during the day such as works or activities, you wouldn’t experience hunger that much.

  1. What to Drink.

Drinks with high caffeine content (coffee, tea, chocolate, sodas and even decaffeinated teas and coffees) should be avoided. The ideal beverage would be water, or if you’re feeling more dehydrated than usual, try adding a slice of lime, strawberries or even mint to your glass of water.

  1. Break Your Fast with Sweet Small Things.

Coconut-coated dates, avocado juice with dried fruit or soups are the perfect choice of beverage when you break your fast. A good mix of carbs, proteins, fruits, and vegetables should be included in your meal.

  1. What to Avoid.

Fasting can often increase gastric acidity levels in the stomach, causing a burning feeling and heaviness in the stomach. This experience can be avoided by eating food rich in fiber. It’s also important to avoid fried food, very spicy food, salty food, and food containing too much sugar.

  1. Pre-Plan Your Schedule and Stay Busy.

Plan how you’re going to use your time in Ramadan so you’re not focusing on its challenges. Doing something meaningful with your time, work-related tasks or spending quality time with your family helps you get your focus off of feelings of hunger and fatigue. You could also volunteer and help others in small chores or activities) while fasting, as this will keep you busy.
