    WHAT IS RAMADAN?

    Ramadan is the ninth monthof the Hijri (Islamic) Calendarwhen fasting is practiced by allobservant Muslims.

    Muslims are expected to upholdthe teachings of Islam byabstaining from eating, drinking,smoking, physical needs andanything that is ill-natured orexcessive; from dawn until thesun sets. Purity of thought andaction is important.

    Ramadan, a month of mercyand compassion, aims to bringpeople closer and strengthenbonds between family andfriends. The observance offasting is to demonstrate thehighest degree of obediencewith an intent of purifying themind, heart and soul.

    Fasting is obligatory for everymature (over the age of puberty)Muslim. Exempted from fastingare the pregnant and nursingmothers, the sick and elderlyand those who are travelling.

    Eid al-Fitr is an Islamic holiday

    that marks the end of Ramadan.Fitr means the breaking of thefasting period.

    After prayers have been offeredat the mosque, the festivitiesand celebration begin withvisits to homes of relatives andfriends. Eid is a time to come

    together as a community andto renew friendships and familyties.

    RAMADAN HEALTH GUIDEHealth is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not

    merely the absence of disease, or infirmity. Health is the key to happiness. Our

    diet directly affects our health. You are what you eat!

    WHAT TO EAT?HEALTHY FOOD Milk based sweets and puddings Lean meat and chicken Baked or grilled food Water, natural juices Grilled or baked fish

    PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE

    HEARTBURN (INDIGESTION)

    The control of heartburn or belching can be aided by eating in moderation andavoiding oily, deep fried or very spicy food. Reducing your caffeine intake and/

    or stopping smoking can also be of benefit, if relevant. Preparations such as

    peppermint oil may help reduce belching or colic. Sleeping with your head raised

    on a few pillows and long-term weight loss may also help prevent heartburn.

    HEADACHE

    Headaches during a fast could commonly be due to dehydration or hunger,

    inadequate rest, or the absence of addictive substances such as caffeine or

    nicotine. A moderate and balanced diet, especially not missing the pre dawn meal,consuming adequate quantities of fluid will help to prevent or reduce the risk of

    developing a headache. Headaches can also be prevented by sensible measures

    such as not exposing oneself to direct sunlight, wearing a hat when out..

    DEHYDRATION

    Dehydration is a common occurrence during a fast.

    The body continues to lose water and salts through

    breathing, sweat and urine; the quantity of water

    loss will vary depending on the weather, how muchyou had to drink before your fast, the degree of

    physical exertion and the ability of the kidneys to

    retain water and salts. Prevention is always better

    than cure. However, if you do not adequately

    rehydrate before a fast, your risk of dehydration

    is increased. It may also be

    worth avoiding the caffeine

    content in drinks such as tea,

    coffee and cola.(Caffeine is adiuretic and stimulates faster

    waterloos through urination.)

    FOODS TO AVOID High sugar foods High fat foods Deep fried food Drinks with caffeine, such as coffee and

    cola(caffeine stimulates faster water loss)

    Fatty meat and chicken
