Fasting in Ramadan

Ramadan is a spiritual time where Muslims develop self-discipline and empathy towards the less fortunate. Despite, being in lockdown Muslims are still advised to eat a healthier diet, become more health-conscious and reduce waste.

This year Ramadan begins in the third week of March until near the end of April, therefore the fasting hours are expected to be around 14-15 hours long. Initially, this can be quite difficult resulting in headaches, dehydration and possibly nausea, due to sleep deprivation and fatigue.

Here are some tips to make fasting a little easier.
