As Ramadan approaches, it's essential for Muslim faithfuls to fast in a healthy way.



Bolaji Salako, a Consultant Radiation and Clinical Oncologist at the Federal Medical Centre in Abeokuta, Ogun State, highlights some key points to ensure a safe fasting experience.

During fasting, dehydration can be a concern, especially in hot climates. Salako emphasizes the importance of staying hydrated during non-fasting hours to avoid complications like fatigue, headaches, and even kidney problems.

He also warns against imbalanced diets during fasting, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies. To counter this, he recommends consuming balanced meals during non-fasting hours to maintain essential vitamin and mineral intake.

For individuals with diabetes, fasting can affect blood sugar levels. Salako advises close monitoring of health conditions and adjustment of medication schedules in consultation with medical doctors.

In summary, fasting during Ramadan can be a fulfilling spiritual practice, but it's crucial to prioritize health. By staying hydrated, eating balanced meals, and monitoring health conditions, Muslim faithfuls can ensure a safe and healthy fasting experience.
