Ramadan Fitness: Complete Manual For A Healthy Body
Ramadan Fitness is the purest month of blessings. A month that comes once a year to purify us all and cleanse our sins. For many of us, Ramadan is a month of studying religion and being close to our deen, but it can be more than that. While Ramadan purifies us it also purifies and detoxes our digestive system, improves our eating habits and makes us more strong, both physically and spiritually. But are you stuck maintaining a fitness regime this Ramadan? Is it hard for you to do so? Here is a manual and guide to help you build your regime of Ramadan fitness. We assure you that there is no better detox plan than fasting in the month of Ramadan.
What Is Ramadan Fitness?
When we talk about Ramadan fitness, we don’t necessarily mean that we have to fast all day and not eat later. The very motive of Ramadan fitness is to embark on a journey that is filled with strength, energy and fitness. You don’t have to eat less while you fast for 13 hours, it’s not humanly possible. Furthermore, Ramadan fitness also includes that you must eat right and look after your health. Fitness in Ramadan is a great opportunity to truly work on your health.
Start Good With Suhoor
#StartGoodWithSuhoor
While we know how important suhoor is, it is highly important to recognize that you should take your protein. Try going with oats, omelette, bananas, dates, paratha, lassi and water. All these things are high in nutrition. Plus, water is necessary. You can also go with coffee or chai with less sugar or no sugar but always remember that hydration is the key. Eat well and start right.
When everything starts well, it always ends well starts as well. So make sure that your suhoor is more than just being heavy but it also should be nutritious. Furthermore, add more fruits and nuts to get some extra energy and nutrition.
Watch Out At Iftari
#WatchOutAtIfari
Iftari as we know is when we have to break our fast. It is that time when we have to be extra cautious. Most of us simply devour whatever comes our way, be it the pakoras or the dahi bhally. We go for high sugar rooh afza and neglect the very importance of water.
While you are trying to stay fit, make sure that you eat well and eat moderately. With that being said, watch out for whatever you are eating. This means, eating dates, fruit chaat, and dahi bhallay, all within a good range.
It must be noted that most people also develop stomach and digestive-related problems because of bad iftari. It is because they don’t watch out for what they are eating and consuming. These diseases are easily preventable if only people start watching what they eat.
Add Movement
Yes, we know how hard it must be for all of us to add movement. Fasting and workout are not for the weak, but trust us when we say that you can do it. By movement we don’t necessarily mean that you add cardio into your Ramadan fitness regime, by movement we mean that you walk or at least be physically active.
The goal is to stay active and not just lay around doing nothing. You can walk to your nearby mosque rather than going there by car, or you can take the longer route. Moreover, you can go to the gym and do some weight training.
Conclusion
We understand that it can be very hard for most of us to follow Ramadan fitness, but the only way forward is to take baby steps. Wishing you all the best for Ramadan. Ramadan Mubarak!
