Ramadan is not just about holding back hunger and thirst, but also the right moment to build sustainable healthy habits. For a whole month, we are invited to discipline ourselves, reflect on our lifestyle, and adopt a better lifestyle. How can we use the momentum of Ramadan to create healthy habits that can last even after the holy month ends? Here is a practical guide for you.
1. Build a balanced Sahur and Iftar routine
Sahur and breaking the fast are two important moments in a day during Ramadan. Take advantage of this time to get used to a healthy diet. During sahur, choose foods rich in complex carbohydrates such as oatmeal or brown rice, and protein such as eggs or fish. When breaking the fast, start with dates and water, then continue with a balanced main meal.
By maintaining a regular diet, you not only maintain your energy during fasting, but also train your body to receive nutrients in a more efficient way.
2. Increase Body Hydration
During Ramadan, staying hydrated is a big challenge. However, this is the perfect opportunity to get into the habit of drinking water regularly. Make sure you drink enough water between iftar and sahur—at least 8 glasses a day. Avoid drinks high in sugar or carbonated drinks that can cause dehydration.
This habit will help you stay hydrated even after Ramadan is over, keeping your body fresh and fit.
3. Be Active with Light Physical Activity
Even though you are fasting, physical activity is still important. Start with light activities such as walking after Tarawih prayers, stretching, or yoga. This will help maintain your fitness without making you feel overly tired.
These active habits can be the foundation for your future daily exercise routine, even after Ramadan is over.
4. Reduce Consumption of Junk Food and Unhealthy Food
Ramadan is often synonymous with typical dishes that are high in sugar, salt, or fat. However, this is an opportunity to train yourself to avoid these unhealthy foods. Replace fried foods with boiled vegetables, and sweet snacks with fresh fruits.
By reducing your consumption of junk food, you can improve your long-term health and reduce your risk of chronic disease.
5. Manage Stress with Meditation and Reflection
Ramadan is an ideal time to reflect and clear your mind of stress. Take time to meditate, recite dhikr, or read the Quran. These spiritual activities not only bring you closer to the Creator, but also help calm your mind.
This habit can help you manage stress better, even amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life after Ramadan.
6. Prioritize Quality Sleep
Ramadan schedules often disrupt sleep due to waking up for sahur or night worship activities. However, make sure you still get quality sleep of at least 6-7 hours a day. Create a consistent sleep routine to keep your body fit.
Good sleeping habits will improve your productivity and mental health in the long run.
7. Set Long-Term Health Goals
Use Ramadan as a time to set specific health goals, such as losing weight, improving your fitness, or reducing your sugar intake. Write down your goals and track your progress daily.
By having clear goals, you will be more motivated to maintain healthy habits even after Ramadan ends.
