Experts from the Republican Center for Health Promotion have provided several recommendations for preparing for this period:
- reduce the consumption of coffee and tea to avoid headaches in the first days of the fast;
- cut down on sugar, salt, and fatty foods — this will ease the body's adaptation;
- increase your water intake — it is recommended to drink at least 1.5 liters of warm water a day to avoid dehydration. The norm can be calculated based on weight: for every kilogram of body weight, you need 30-35 milliliters of fluid;
- include complex carbohydrates in your diet, such as cereals, whole grain bread, and legumes, to maintain energy levels throughout the day;
- establish a sleep routine so that the body does not experience stress due to changes in the usual schedule.
In 2026, Ramadan (Orozo ayi) will begin on February 19, and the first day of the fast will coincide with this date.
