The "Three-Step" Hydration Strategy

Gulping down massive amounts of ice-cold water the moment the sun sets can shock the digestive system and lead to bloating. For optimal hydration, use a staged approach:

1. At Break-Fast: Start with 1–2 glasses of room-temperature water alongside your dates.

2. Post-Iftar: Sip roughly 250ml of water every hour until bedtime.

3. During Suhoor: Conclude with another two glasses.

Adding hydrating foods like cucumber, watermelon, or soup to your meals also counts toward your goal. This steady approach ensures your body actually absorbs the moisture rather than simply flushing it out, keeping your brain sharp and your skin hydrated throughout the fasting hours.
