Experts from the Republican Center for Health Promotion offer several recommendations for preparing for this important period:
- Reduce the amount of coffee and tea consumed to avoid headaches in the first days of fasting;
- Limit sugar, salt, and fatty foods, which will help the body adapt more easily;
- Increase your water intake to 1.5 liters per day, preferably warm, to avoid dehydration. It is recommended to calculate the norm using the formula: for every kilogram of body weight, you should consume 30-35 milliliters of liquid;
- Add complex carbohydrates to your diet, such as cereals, whole grain bread, and legumes, to maintain energy levels throughout the day;
- Regulate your sleep schedule to minimize stress from changes in your usual routine.
It is worth noting that in 2026, the month of Ramadan (Orozo ayi) will begin on February 19, marking the first day of fasting.
