hallo steemian friends all wherever you are may be in good health always .. we know that most people hold thirst when fasting is felt more severe than holding hunger. Well, it turns out there are tricks that can be done so you do not easily thirst during fasting.
One of them is to maintain the storage of water in the body and ensure the body is always hydrated. Unfortunately, when breaking the fast, we tend to eat a variety of foods and drinks that are 'wrong', such as fried foods, sweet iced tea, or soda to refresh the throat.
But, did you know that the habit can actually make you feel thirsty? Especially soft drinks that will fill the stomach and ultimately prevent the body using fluids.
Well, here are some things that you should do to not easily thirst when fasting.
- Watermelon consumption.
Watermelon is a summer fruit that contains a lot of water. Watermelon has 91 percent water content and contains only 6 percent sugar. If you are too lazy to get rid of watermelon seeds, try making a smooth and easy watermelon smoothie or juice. - Consumption of tomatoes.
Tomatoes also contain lots of water and are able to keep the body hydrated. One cup of cherry tomatoes will give you a fluid intake equivalent to half a cup of water. Be sure to include the tomatoes in your diet to keep the body in reserve. - Consumption of cucumber.
The water content reaches 90 percent. Be sure to include cucumber in your meal, eg as fresh vegetables. This will keep you fresh and comfortable when fasting during the day. - Avoid coffee.
You really should stop drinking coffee during Ramadan, or at least reduce it. Why? Because caffeine will make you more frequent urination, which automatically causes your body to lose fluid.
