5 wrong habits that you should avoid during the month of Ramadan

Weather of Arabia - As the month of Ramadan approaches, many people become accustomed to following habits that can negatively affect the health of the body in general. Therefore, it is necessary to follow up periodically with a specialist doctor to ensure the safety of health during this blessed month.

Wrong habits that you should not practice during Ramadan

• Overeating

Overeating is considered one of the common wrong habits during the month of Ramadan, as this behavior can lead to significant weight gain, and expose the person to indigestion and gastroesophageal reflux, in addition to frequent feelings of sleepiness. Therefore, it is preferable to eat moderate amounts of food during iftar and suhoor meals.

• Not drinking enough water

A large number of people tend not to drink enough water during the month of Ramadan, which increases the possibility of dehydration. Therefore, it is preferable to drink sufficient amounts of water during the time period between Iftar and Suhoor, especially in hot weather, to maintain hydration of the body and prevent dehydration.

• Lack of sleep

Some people like to wake up for suhoor late, believing that this can have a positive impact on the next day. However, this action has negative consequences, as it can greatly affect concentration and overall health. Therefore, it is preferable to get enough sleep, especially before the month of Ramadan, to ensure full benefit from alertness and activity during daylight hours and to avoid any negative effects on health.

• Excessive eating of sweets

Sweets are among the bad habits that can greatly negatively affect the body's health. In addition to significant weight gain, eating sweets leads to high blood sugar levels. Therefore, it is preferable to eat moderate amounts of sweets after breakfast, and avoid eating them immediately before bed, as this may increase the negative side effects exponentially, which limits the ability to relax and sleep properly.

• Not eating suhoor meal

Suhoor is considered one of the necessary meals that must be eaten during the month of Ramadan, to avoid any potential health complications, such as feeling hungry the next day or tired throughout the fasting period. Therefore, it is important to make sure to eat the suhoor meal one to two hours before bed, in order to ensure obtaining all the necessary nutrients that the body needs during the fasting period, and to ensure a feeling of fullness and energy during the fasting period the next day.
