The only way you can ever deal with thirst during Ramadhan is to ensure you eat things that have a lot of water so that it can be stored in your body.
Many people will get themselves stuffed with a lot of carbs, starches and soda which tend to use up all the water in the body making you thirsty during the next fasting hours.
There are a number of things you can eat and drink so as to make fasting easier on you the next day.
1. Eat watermelons
Watermelons consist of 91% water and 6% sugar, this is your game changer. the stuff yourself on this and your next fasting hours will be tolerable. Eating the fruit every day may get boring you can get creative by making a watermelon smoothie.
2. Eat tomatoes
Tomatoes are also very juicy and keep you hydrated. Did you know that one cup of cherry tomatoes offer over half a cup of water? Be sure to include tomatoes in your meal somehow so as to stock up on plenty of fluid.
3. Eat Cucumbers
Cucumbers are also one of these foods composed of 90% water. Be sure to include cucumbers in your Suhoor. It will keep you refreshed and cool the next day.
4. Stop drinking coffee
I know all you coffee addicts out there can’t wait for Iftar time to start making your cups of coffees. However, you really must stop that habit, or at least cut down. The truth for that matter is, caffeine makes you want to pee a lot, therefore your body is losing liquid.
5. Avoid Activities That Will Make You Sweat Too Much during fasting hours
Finally and most importantly of all, sweating. As I said, the trick is to keep the liquid in your body, and not lose it in any way. Sitting in the heat, or running errands (I know sometimes it’s inevitable) but try your best to reduce it as much as possible.
That way the watermelon or cucumbers you ate in Suhoorcan actually do their job; retaining fluids in your body. It’s kind of like channelling the life of a camel, a camel can go on for days without drinking water, as his humps store a lot of water. Sure he walks the desert, that’s why he has a big hump, but you get my point. Store fluids in your body during the time you’re allowed to eat.
