It's no secret anymore that fasting provides many benefits for the body. However, this can be maximized with the right eating pattern. Because there are often temptations to consume fried foods or high-sugar foods that arise during breaking the fast or pre-dawn meal. Don't make it a habit, because it turns out that the wrong eating pattern can trigger various diseases during fasting. Surely, this can make fasting uncomfortable and you will also lose focus on various daily activities. Come on, it's time to keep your body fit until the end of Ramadan, Dream friends!

Incorrect eating patterns during fasting generally cause problems in the digestive system. Starting from constipation due to lack of fiber intake and vegetables, which slow down the movement of food in the digestive tract. As a result, bowel movements become irregular due to hard stools. In addition to difficulty in passing stools, diarrhea can also be another common digestive problem experienced. This condition can be caused by excessive secretion of water and bile in the digestive tract, which can occur due to incorrect eating or overeating during breaking the fast.

Who often has problems with stomach acid during fasting? Yes, stomach acid problems are also one of the diseases that are susceptible to attack during fasting because of the increase in stomach acid. FYI, the human stomach produces hydrochloric acid fluid that plays a role in breaking down consumed food. During fasting, there can be an accumulation of stomach acid that rises to the esophagus or known as GERD. The trigger for this stomach acid problem is usually due to incorrect eating habits, such as never eating suhoor, eating a large meal immediately after breaking the fast, consuming too much spicy or acidic food, and excessive caffeine intake.

Often break outside the house because of daily busyness? Beware of typhoid, a disease that silently lurks during fasting. Usually, this condition occurs due to food or drinks contaminated with Salmonella typhi bacteria. The bacteria enter the digestive tract and multiply. This condition then causes various symptoms ranging from high fever, abdominal pain, constipation to diarrhea. So, even if you have to break outside the house, pay attention to the dining places you go! Don't eat randomly and make sure the chosen dining place implements good hygiene standards.

The condition of fasting makes the body vulnerable to dehydration and triggers a dry throat. This lack of fluids can actually cause irritation and inflammation in the throat. In addition, consuming certain foods and drinks during suhoor and iftar can also cause throat irritation. For example, eating fried foods too often, consuming foods that are too spicy or hot, and drinking ice-cold beverages that feel refreshing during iftar. Eating habits like this can result in throat irritation that leads to inflammation.

During fasting, the body tends to not receive food intake from dawn until breaking the fast time. This can cause a drastic decrease in blood sugar levels, which can result in trembling body, blurred vision, and sweating. This condition may not be dangerous for healthy individuals. However, it needs to be watched out for people with diabetes. So, it's really important to pay attention to the proper nutritional intake for pre-dawn meal and breaking the fast in order to avoid this condition. Come on, it's time to be more cautious about the above-mentioned health risks that are prone to attack so that fasting can continue smoothly until the end of Ramadan. Stay healthy always!
