Ramadan is a good time to focus on spiritual reflection and health. As part of our Get Help To Get Active programme, we have created a booklet that provide top tips on how to maintain moderate levels of physical activity and a healthy lifestyle while fasting during Ramadan.
Our top tips:
- Consult your GP before fasting or starting any new physical activity, especially if you are on medication.
- Avoid strenuous activities
- Drink plenty of fluids during Suhoor and Iftar
- Practice light activity, such as yoga or stretches, before and after Suhoor
- The movements performed during Salah can count as light activity
- If you find it difficult or are unable to stand unassisted, you can practice chair-based exercises
- Breathing exercises can help to relax your mind during the day
- Eat a balanced diet – this will help to improve your sleep
