Essential Tips for Moms: How to stay energised during Ramadan

Try to breathe deep and through your nose to inhale more oxygen. This will help your body cells in regaining energy and avoid feeling fatigue.

Lack of sleep can easily drain your energy and make you feel overwhelmingly tired. Sleep early, and if possible have a quick nap during the day.

Regular exercise will boost your energy instead of wearing you down. Chose a light sport after Iftar or Suhour like walking to recharge your body.

Eat mindfully and to what your body truly needs. Resist unnecessary temptations that can cause bloating and exhaustion.

Fibre-rich food will help you gain a lot of energy. Examples of foods high in fibre are brown rice, whole-grains, fresh fruit and raw vegetables.

Fruits and vegetables work as ‘protective’ foods as they help your body fight off sickness and disease because they are rich in vitamins and minerals.

Water hydrates your body and keeps your mind fresh. Increase your water intake and have a glass of water instead of another coffee.

Pre-plan your time in Ramadan so you're not focused on its challenges. Do a different activity every day and maybe involve the kids to pass more time.
