Ramadan Heat: Doctor's Advice to Prevent Dehydration During Fasting

• Dr. Syed Zia Ur Rahman advises fasters on staying hydrated amidst rising temperatures during Ramadan.
• Suhoor is crucial; consume light, nutritious food and sufficient water, including dates, fruits, or juice.
• At Iftar, rehydrate with sherbet, juice, or seasonal fruits like watermelon, muskmelon, and papaya.
• Drink water intermittently from Iftar to Suhoor; include green vegetables and water-rich foods in your diet.
• Avoid heavy, spicy, or non-vegetarian food; those working in the sun should seek shade to prevent dehydration.
