Staying Healthy • 07.29.09
Just tonight I was listening to a lecture by Muhammed Alshareef, he’s become my favorite shaykh right now 
Anyways, the lecture was about getting ready for Ramadan and I jotted down a lot of notes. He had us make a dua list, as well as a list of 30 goals for Ramadan, (I’ve only gotten to 15)
One thing he mentioned was some tips on How to stay healthy in Ramadan I liked them so I thought I’d share them,
- Wake up for Suhoor! Missing suhoor will mean that you have basically started your day’s fast from the night before, and that’ll cause some fatigue. Also try not to eat fatty food, instead eat a regular breakfast, a peter-butter sandwich or some dates…
- Move around during the day, don’t spend the entire time snoozing.
- Don’t over eat during Iftaar. He mentioned eating with a tea saucer (ie. just a lil) Remember, 1/3 food, 1/3 water, and 1/3 air.
- Sleep early. Like right after getting back from Taraweeh. Go straight to bed, that way you’ll have energy to pray qiyaam, and you’ll have energy during the day. It’s also alright to get about an hour and half worth of sleep during the day. But don’t oversleep!
- Water, water and more water! Don’t dehydrate yourself!
I can’t wait 4 Ramadan!
