Choosing exactly what we consume at dawn can actually determine the smoothness of our activities as long as we fast for a full day, you know.
I never agree with the notion of eating or drinking as much as possible at dawn until full so as not to limp during fasting. In fact, limp or not actually depends on the selection of the right food and drink intake.
I have proven this. One time I woke up late and only had time to eat breakfast. I only ate 2 fried fruits, 1 piece of chocolate cake and 2 glasses of sweet tea. The result? At 1 pm I was already feeling very weak and thirsty! But, do I feel full at sahur? The answer is yes, I'm full. However, the food that I consumed was not nutritious and only filled the feeling of satiety and thirst for a moment.
The selection of the right menu at sahur actually determines the amount of energy I get to be able to fast all day while still carrying out activities. Many people think that only food needs to be considered at dawn, but it turns out that the fluids that enter are no less important. What I've been drinking at dawn turned out to be a diuretic drink. This is a drink that quickly removes body fluids and makes us thirsty, such as tea and coffee. If the body fluids that come out more and more, we can experience the danger of dehydration.
Dehydration is a condition in which the intake of fluids that come out of the body is more than what goes in, this is what usually happens when we fast. Dehydration has an impact on many things, from feeling thirsty, weak, dizzy, nauseated or even fainting. Of course no one wants to experience that.
As an illustration for you, 60% of our body consists of fluids. When fasting, whatever activity you do, body fluids will always decrease because there is no fluid that enters the body. We must ensure proper hydration, choose drinks that contain ION such as Pocari Sweat to meet fluid needs and prevent dehydration.
Why should ION? Because ION is able to bind body fluids longer so you don't feel thirsty quickly. Moreover, the ION composition in Pocari Sweat is similar to body fluids, is quickly absorbed and lasts longer so that I don't feel thirsty easily and prevent dehydration during activities during fasting.
Fasting if done in an orderly and correct manner, will nourish the body and rest the digestive tract. For a smooth fast and to avoid dehydration, during sahur I consume adequate fluid intake with Pocari Sweat, because ION at dawn takes care of your day.
So, is there no reason to feel weak when fasting? :)
