Knowing what unhealthy things or habits you do during fasting are expected to provide insight for you not to do or imitate the same things. So that, the fast you live will be a blessing as well as provide good health for you. The following are some unhealthy habits that are practiced while fasting.
Drink Lots of Water at Sahur
At the last seconds before your Imsak, or all of us may have been faced with the habit of consuming a lot of water at this time. With the reason that the hot weather makes you often feel thirsty, we then feed the fluids into the body at the same time at dawn.
Plenty of fluid intake during Ramadan is indeed beneficial for preventing dehydration in the body. However, drinking too much at dawn is unhealthy.
This condition will probably make you want to urinate sometime afterwards. Where when this condition occurs, the risk of dehydration during the day will be greater.
Going to Sleep after Sahur
Not a few of us, not just children, but many adults also practice this bad habit. Going to bed at dawn is usually used as an excuse to be able to enjoy dawn by sleeping longer. However, this is not good for your health.
Food that is consumed at dawn and immediately sleeps will turn back up. This condition will make esophageal reflux occur. When this condition is felt, the effect will result in worse stomach acid. Especially for people with ulcers. For that, you should wait 1 to 2 hours to get back to sleep.
Eat Many Dishes When Open
Sometimes hunger that is no longer unbearable will make a person tend to go crazy by eating a lot of dishes when breaking the fast. This condition often makes many people prepare a variety of foods and heavy dishes at the time of breaking the fast.
And when the maghrib call to prayer arrives, they will be happy to eat whatever food is in front of them. Including foods with high cholesterol content. However, this habit is not a good thing to do because it can endanger health.
