In addition to it being a month of religion and spirituality, it\u2019s a time for family bonds, generosity and festivals. For Muslims, fasting begins at dawn, and ends at sundown with a meal called <em>iftar<\/em>. Here are a few tips that will help you fast during the holy month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Don\u2019t Skip <em>Sohour<\/em>:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1891\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.propertyfinder.bh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_403508137-276x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"276\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.bh\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_403508137-276x400.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.bh\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_403508137-551x800.jpg 551w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.bh\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_403508137.jpg 689w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 276px) 100vw, 276px\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\nYou know what they say; breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and the same applies in Ramadan. The pre-dawn meal, or <em>sohour<\/em> is essential for anyone who fasts, as this is the time to rehydrate and get the nutrients you need for the next days fast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Don\u2019t Over Eat During <em>Iftar<\/em>:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Your meal should be a well balanced one, with lots of liquids and fresh foods. <em>Iftar<\/em> is not a feast, but a balanced, healthy meal that includes high fiber foods and whole grains, as well as vegetables and fruits. Remember, eat slowly and enjoy your meal!<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Drink Water:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1893\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.propertyfinder.bh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_568485790-604x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.bh\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_568485790-604x400.jpg 604w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.bh\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_568485790-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.bh\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_568485790-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.bh\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_568485790.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\nOne of the most important thing you can do is to stay hydrated. Drink lots of water between <em>iftar<\/em> and <em>sohour<\/em>, and opt for healthy fresh juices as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Consider The Essence:\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nRamadan is a time of reflection and self discipline. It is also a time for bonds and giving back. One of the things you can do is find a charity and volunteer for the month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Exercise:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1892\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.propertyfinder.bh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_558079735-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.bh\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_558079735-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.bh\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_558079735-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.bh\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_558079735-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.bh\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_558079735.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\nRamadan is actually a great time to get a workout in! As the days are usually shorter, you have more time to squeeze in a session. Each body is different and reacts uniquely to fasting; some prefer a pre-<em>iftar<\/em> work out, while some choose to have their exercise session later in the night. Whichever timing you choose, make sure that you modify your workouts to fit your energy levels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Plan Ahead:<\/strong><br \/>\nFor those who are fasting and cooking, pre-planning your meals on a weekly basis is one of the most important things you can do. So write down your menu and stick to it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Eat Healthy:\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nWe can\u2019t stress on the importance of this point! People usually look to reward themselves with greasy fried foods or sweet, sugary dishes. In addition to this being an unhealthy addition to your diet, it will also make it harder for you to fast the next day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Think Dates:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1894\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.propertyfinder.bh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_1080291482-584x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.bh\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_1080291482-584x400.jpg 584w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.bh\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_1080291482-768x526.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.bh\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_1080291482-800x548.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.bh\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_1080291482.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\nDates are a staple in Ramadan! It is customary to break a fast with dates, but it is also a great addition to your <em>sohour<\/em>, as it fills you up and also slowly increase blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.bh\/en\/rent\/properties-for-rent.html\">Click here to find properties for rent in Bahrain\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Holy Month of Ramadan is a very exciting time in Bahrain and the region as a whole.
