Health regime during Ramadan

Ramadan Kareem ..
During this holy month, all our eating habits and timings change due to fasting, and it would be an excellent opportunity if we took advantage of it. It will help you get rid of unhealthy eating habits, especially for those who have undergone obesity surgery.There are necessary nutrients for our body that we cannot take because the duration between breakfast and suhoor in this month is short, and also the stomach is small.
And so, in this article, we will explain to you in detail the useful diet in the month of Ramadan that will maintain our weight and also allow us to benefit from all the nutrients.

When can we fast after obesity surgery?

We can fast a month after the operation if we are able to drink at least 2 liters of fluid from sunset to dawn. If we are not able to maintain this amount of fluid, then we do not fast, in order to avoid any side effects from fasting

What problems can happen during fasting and how can we avoid them?

Dehydration is one of the main problems we can face, and this is due to the high temperature and lack of time. Some cases do not drink enough fluids, and so they suffer from fatigue and dehydration at the time of fasting. In order to avoid this problem, we must drink 2 to 3 liters of fluid in the period from breakfast to suhoor.

Fatigue and reflux are other problems we can face because our stomachs are empty for more than 12 hours. Also, rushing to eat during breakfast will cause stomach fatigue and nausea, in addition to food reflux.

Are we able to exercise in the month of Ramadan? What is the best time to exercise?

Of course, we can do sports in the holy month, and the most appropriate time is at least an hour and a half or two hours after breakfast, provided that the exercises are suitable for our physical fitness and also far from fasting hours and the sun and the high temperature so as not to cause dehydration or dehydration of the body.

• We must break our fast by taking stomach medicine in a quarter cup of lukewarm water and then take a low-calorie drink or any warm drink.

• Breakfast should include all the nutrients, especially protein.
