The first disease that often occurs during fasting is a headache or dizziness. There are various factors that cause many people to experience headaches during fasting.

Adjust your sleep schedule with various activities in the month of Ramadan. In addition, consuming nutritious foods is also a preventive measure. Don't let a headache disturb your devotion to fasting.

2. Nausea

In addition to headaches, nausea often occurs when we are fasting. Usually, the feeling of nausea during fasting is felt in the morning. Just like headaches, this fasting-related illness can be caused by many factors, including not meeting fluid needs and sleep patterns.

But you don't need to worry too much. Because, nausea can be overcome in several ways such as drinking warm water during suhoor, not sleeping after suhoor, reducing consumption of coffee and spicy food. However, nausea during fasting should not be taken lightly. Because, this can also be a sign of other diseases.

3. Acid Reflux

Well, one of the diseases that is usually marked by nausea is acid reflux. Generally, acid reflux is triggered by irregular eating patterns, causing an empty stomach for a long time. So it's understandable that acid reflux becomes the most common disease experienced by many people during fasting.

Acid reflux can be triggered by the habit of sleeping immediately after suhoor. So one way to avoid it is by not sleeping after suhoor. If you feel sleepy, take a break between suhoor and sleep for 1 hour. In addition, people with acid reflux should also avoid spicy and acidic foods.

4. Diarrhea

The next disease that often occurs during fasting is diarrhea. When experiencing diarrhea, various activities will be disrupted because one has to constantly go to the toilet. Generally, diarrhea is caused by disturbances in the digestive system. This digestive system disorder can be caused by many factors. One of them is the type of food consumed during breaking the fast or pre-dawn meal.

If you want to avoid diarrhea, it is advisable to avoid spicy foods. In addition, make sure that the food and eating utensils used during breaking the fast and pre-dawn meal are clean. Because, food and eating utensils that are not clean can contain germs or bacteria that can also cause diarrhea.

5. Dehydration

Dehydration poses a real health threat to people who are fasting. Not without reason, because during fasting the body's fluid needs will not be fully met. However, various activities continue as usual.

Dehydration caused by lack of fluids can be prevented by regulating drinking patterns. The method is to create a drinking schedule of 2-4-2. This means, 2 glasses during breaking the fast, 4 glasses between breaking the fast and before pre-dawn meal, and 2 glasses during pre-dawn meal. By implementing this drinking schedule, the body's fluid needs will still be met, so we can avoid dehydration.

6. Sore Throat and Internal Heat

The sixth disease that often occurs during fasting is sore throat and internal heat. Both occur in the throat, and they often appear together.

One of the factors that causes someone to experience sore throat during fasting is the habit of consuming fried foods as iftar snacks. This means that in order to avoid this disease, it is better to limit the habit of consuming fried foods when breaking the fast.

Well, those are among the 6 diseases that often occur during the month of Ramadan fasting. After knowing this review, you will know what diseases should be aware of during the next month of fasting.
