How Do People Stay Healthy During Ramadan?
Staying healthy during Ramadan is by taking a few steps that will help you stay consistent or start the healthy habits you want to start to help you stay healthy during Ramadan. This comes down to figuring out your workout schedule, what to eat for Suhoor to stay full and healthy, and the type of nourishing food you need to be eating at Iftar time. Below are the 4 simple yet effective steps I take during Ramadan that help me in staying healthy during Ramadan.4 Steps That Will Help With Staying Healthy During Ramadan
1. Set Your Goals For Ramadan
To reach your desired outcome and find your path, it’s crucial to set clear goals. Ramadan goals differ from our usual ones because they also involve enhancing our faith. The key is to set goals effectively to sustain your healthy habits. Specificity is essential in goal-setting for success. Instead of vague objectives like “drink more water,” pinpoint the amount—be measurable. For instance, set a clear goal like “drink 2L every day” to track your hydration accurately during Ramadan. Being specific also involves detailing how you’ll achieve the goal. Rather than pushing yourself to consume 2L only during Iftar, consider a balanced approach. Plan to drink ‘500-700ml during Suhoor’ and ‘1.3-1.5L during Iftar.’ This practical breakdown makes it manageable, contributing to helping you to stay healthy during Ramadan! Related Blog Posts:2. Track Your Progress
Setting your goals is not enough to stay consistent with healthy habits. You need to be tracking your progress every day (depending on the goal). Using the above example of ‘drinking 2L a day’, the way you would track your progress with this is by having a chart, or even better a planner with a progress tracking page. Every day at the end of the day you would tick to see if you met that daily goal or not. Tracking progress has helped me stay consistent with my healthy daily habits. It’s like a to-do list for me. I always ensure that I am ticking things off my to-do list, and as I see tracking my progress as a must, it means at the end of the day I have to tick it off my list.3. Meal Planning
Meal planning is a great way to maintain healthy eating throughout the year. But as I have mentioned in my 5 healthy tips for Ramadan blog post people tend to go off track with eating healthy food during Ramadan. So, meal planning during Ramadan is a great way to maintain healthy eating habits. You can get a meal planning board or planner to plan out each week. It will be a great way to plan healthy suhoor and iftar meals, as well as healthy snacks to have after Iftar. Without meal planning healthy meals, you will fall into the trap of making impulsive unhealthy choices such as ordering out. Related Blog Posts:- Meal Planning Tips (How To Meal Plan)

4. Plan Your Activities Ahead
You can do this as part of your night routine. Planning your activities the night before can significantly help you stay healthy during Ramadan. I find time blocking so helpful as well as writing a to-do list starting from the most important. Planning your day will help you stay organized and ensure that you are getting your little healthy habits done. For example, time blocking will allow you to see when you can start prepping iftar to allow you time to do your low-impact workouts before iftar. If you still do not have a planner, then I highly recommend you get one especially to help you stay consistent during Ramadan. Eventually, this will help you carry on your healthy habits after Ramadan too.SHOP RAMADAN JOURNAL AND PLANNER
