How to Avoid Dehydration During Ramadan: Simple Hydration Tips

Ramadan fasting heightens dehydration risk, especially in warm climates, where 40% experience symptoms like fatigue/headaches. Key: 2.5-3L fluids between Iftar and Suhoor via steady sips, not gulps, for absorption. Prioritize water, coconut water (electrolytes), soups, yogurt; eat watermelon, cucumber, oranges (85%+ water). Avoid caffeine/salt/fried foods to reduce urine loss/thirst. Breakfast with dates for sugars/potassium; lukewarm water aids uptake. Limit sun exposure, light clothes, rest—ORS for high-risk. Experts: sip hourly post-Iftar, pre-Suhur; balance meals prevent bloating.

Sip 2.5-3L steadily Iftar-Suhoor; glass post-prayer/hourly. Lukewarm faster absorbed; start Iftar, bedtime, Suhur peaks.

Foods to Avoid
