10 ways to get the best out of Ramadan fasting

2. Increase intake of fruits, fluid

Although the body is shorn of nutrients during the day, it is expedient to take much needed fruits and water during the dawn meal (Sahur) and while breaking fast at dusk (Iftar). This will replace the much needed nutrients in the body. However, there is need for caution. One shouldn’t rush the water and fruit at a go, especially at the point of breaking of fast. It should be gradual in order not to harm the stomach.
