The body really needs water because this water intake has a very important role for the body. Adequate water intake can affect the body's nerves and cells.
On the other hand, lack of water can cause the body to feel tired, dizzy, dry skin, constipation and even headaches. Therefore, in order to stay fit, it is very important to maintain adequate water intake in this month of Ramadan.
But the question is, how do you maintain adequate fluid intake for the body while fasting? Let's look at the following tips for drinking water while fasting.
Two Glasses at Suhoor
In order to be strong in fasting, you have to get up to eat sahur. So it is the same with consuming water as the beginning of the provision before fasting.
For at dawn you can drink two glasses of water. So that you don't just fill yourself with water, you can share it, namely one glass before dawn and the other when it's close to imsak time.
Sufficient water will give you enough energy intake to fast. In addition, consuming water when you just wake up is also useful for getting rid of toxins in the body and facilitating digestion.
Psst, drinking enough water can also make you full for a long time.
Two Glasses When Iftar
This is the time we have been waiting for, namely breaking the fast. Given that we don't drink water all day, it's very important to replace body fluids when it's time to break the fast.
So if you break your fast, don't go crazy drinking sweet ice, you have to leave room in your body for water. Well, to immediately replace lost body fluids, you can consume one glass of water when breaking the fast.
After eating a light meal, you can drink one more glass. So in total when you break your fast, you have to drink two glasses of water.
Four Glasses of Water at Night
The next four glasses can be consumed at night. But do not immediately gulp four glasses together. You can pay it in installments one glass after sunset before dinner and another glass after.
Well, before doing the Isha prayer, before going to the mosque you can drink one more glass. And after the tarawih prayer you can consume one last glass of water. Consuming enough water will help the body process food to make it easier to digest.
Those are tips for meeting your body's fluid needs while fasting. Eight glasses is enough, right? So that you don't get thirsty quickly, you can reduce your intake of spicy salty foods, because these types of foods can trigger thirst. Happy fasting!
