Assalam o alikum!

Dear visitors!!Here are some common mistakes Ramadan that we apply I have copy it from a site because I think it is very useful:

'Common mistakes in Ramadan:'

1. Drinking "rooh afza" on a daily basis🍹
- Why: It contains high amounts of sugar, additives and colorants
- Solution: If you have to, drink it twice a week maximum

2. Drinking large amounts of water at iftaar time
- Why: Filling the stomach with water is more strenuous to it than with food.
- Solution: have a few sips at iftaar then a glass after every two hours.

3. Exercising directly after iftaar.
- Why: the body's blood flow is concentrated around the stomach at that time.
- Solution: Exercise after two hours of eating to ease digestion.

4. Chewing and swallowing food fast.
- Why: chewing food slowly can speed up digestion and help maintain your weight

5. Having dessert directly after iftaar
- Why: they make you drowsy and sleepy 😴
- Solution: leave at least a two hour gap between iftaar and dessert to stay fresh and awake for ishaa prayers

6. Consuming foods with high amounts of sodium
- Why: Sodium triggers thirst through out the fasting hours of the day
- Solution: instead, eat foods that are high in potassium, they retain water and supress your thirst.

♢ Bananas are high in potassium. A banana at Seher time can control your thirst level through out the day.
