BE REALISTIC TO YOURSELF

Don’t fill your plate more than you can eat! What we are saying here is don’t overload yourself. Ramadan inspires believers to be the best of themselves during this month and missing out on Iftar with family or loved ones or Taraweeh prayers might not always be a good one. If you are an employee, let your superiors know this is a religious obligation that significantly impacts your body and mind. Working overtime or late might not be a good idea. Please don’t get under pressure, be it at home making food or work, or you will see yourself burning out before the month goes halfway.

DOWNLOAD A TIME AND HEALTH TRACKING APP

You might not want to run out of time to make your family smile during this month so, a tracking app will be a saviour. You are going to be busy, that very obvious! And it is easy to dehydrate and miss out on nutrition if one is not careful. So download an app that will help you stay healthy and balance for the whole month.

ASK FOR HELP

There is nothing wrong with asking your spouse to wash those vegetables while you do other things. There is nothing wrong with asking your siblings to arrange the table while cleaning the kitchen before serving the food. Always ask for help, don’t do things all by yourself. For couples, you must communicate well about wok around the household, especially this holy month of Ramadan���gaery vital.

BONUS TIP
Drink a lot of water! Drink a lot of water! Yes, even a lot more!
Stay healthy and realistic!

We wish you all a blessed Ramadan filled with joy and love.
