How to reduce the thirst feeling during Ramadan?
To avoid or reduce the thirst feeling: • Drink 8-10 cups of water between Iftar and Sahoor meals. • Increase your intake of other fluids, such as low fat soup, milk, and unsweetened fruit juices. • Replace dried sweets (such as baklava, or lugaimat with custard, jello, puddings), as these contain more water. • Replace caffeinated drinks (tea, cola, coffee) with decaffeinated ones, as caffeine is diuretic and depletes the body of its fluids • Reduce salt intake. • Do not consume a lot of meat. • Do not practice exercise in hot season or in daytime. Do it in the evening. • Reduce the intake of fried, spicy, and salty food (pickles, olives, canned food, zaater, salted cheese, and salted sauces).
