Tips Tetap Segar dan Fresh Saat Berpuasa

Selama satu bulan penuh umat Islam menjalankan ibadah puasa. Tahukah Anda, selama berpuasa tubuh tidak mendapatkan asupan makanan maupun cairan sekitar 14 jam. Oleh karena itu, penting sekali untuk memerhatikan pola makan dan pola tidur agar Anda bisa menjalani puasa dengan baik. Berikut ini silahkan Anda simak beberapa tips sehat selama berpuasa versi Unique Daily Tips :

1. Agar bertahan lama, dianjurkan untuk sahur mendekati waktu imsyak.

 

2. Peran sahur saat berpuasa sangatlah penting. Jangan lupa selalu mengkonsumsi makanan bergizi baik pada saat sahur. Walau menu sederhana, yang penting mengandung lima unsur gizi lengkap seperti protein, lemak, karbohidrat, vitamin dan mineral. Mengkonsumsi buah juga sangat baik untuk menjaga stamina Anda selama puasa.

 

3. Perbanyak mengkonsumsi sayuran dan makanan-makanan kaya karbohidrat seprti kacang-kacangan yang bisa mengikat air yang dibutuhkan tubuh selama berpuasa.

 

4. Setelah makan sahur jangan langsung tidur. Tubuh memerlukan waktu untuk mencerna makanan.

 

5. Untuk mencegah tubuh dari dehidrasi dengan minum air putih pada malam hari. Hal ini penting dilakukan, karena pada siang hari aktivitas kita cenderung banyak mengeluarkan keringat baik di luar ruangan atau ruang ber-AC.

 

6. Kurangi mengkonsumsi makanan berminyak. Makanan ini akan membuat sel darah merah menggumpal sehingga menyebabkan aliran oksigen menjadi berkurang hingga 20 persen. Akibatnya Anda akan mengantuk pada siang hari.

 

7. Bagi penderita sakit lambung sebaiknya menghindari makanan seperti ketan, mie, daging berlemak, ikan dan daging yang diawetkan, sayuran mentah, sayuran berserat, minuman yang mengandung soda, dan bumbu yang tajam (cuka, cabai, asam). Jenis makanan tersebut bisa menimbulkan gas yang berpengaruh meningkatkan produksi asam lambung.

 

8. Pada saat makan malam, sebaiknya tidak makan terlalu banyak untuk mencegah obesitas. Selain itu, hindari meminum kopi dan minuman yang mengandung soda karena bisa buat Anda sulit. Sebagai alternatif ganti kedua minuman tersebut dengan air mineral dan jus buah.

 

9. Ketika udara semakin panas dan terik, usahakan untuk beraktivitas di dalam ruangan yang dingin atau tempat teduh. Batasi pula aktivitas fisik agar Anda tidak mudah lelah.

 

10. Berbuka puasa dengan makan secukupnya. Langsung memakan banyak makanan hanya akan membuat perut terasa sesak. Para pakar kesehatan menganjurkan untuk makan secara bertahap, mulai dari air putih beberapa teguk, sedikit makanan manis, dan selang minimal setengah atau satu jam baru makan besar.

 

11. Kurangi yang manis-manis. Makanan manis akan membuat tubuh melepaskan insulin dengan cepat sehingga memicu rasa cepat lapar.

 

12. Selain memerhatikan asupan makanan, pengaturan pola tidur juga merupakan hal yang penting. Mengantuk selama puasa bukanlah disebabkan karena tak makan dan minum seharian, melainkan karena tak memiliki waktu tidur yang cukup. Jika memungkinkan untuk tidur siang yang singkat tapi berkualitas akan membantu memulihkan energi Anda.

 

13. Mengkonsumsi Vitamin jika dianggap perlu ( vitamin yang penting dikonsumsi setiap hari adalah vitamin A, B, dan C).

 

14. Jangan lupa niatkan ikhlas karena Allah, karena keikhlasan karena Allah akan memberikan semangat yang sangat berlebih dalam seluruh aktivitas Anda. Untuk niat puasa silahkan Anda baca Niat Puasa dan Do'a Saat Berbuka Puasa.

 

Demikianlah tips yang dapat Anda lakukan agar tetap segar dan fresh saat menjalankan ibadah puasa. Semoga bermanfaat.

What is Ramadan?

Ramadan is a period of fasting for muslims all around the world. Time for reflection, devotion, generosity and sacrifice observed. Ramadan retains its intense spiritual meaning. The word "Ramadan" comes from the Arabic root word for "parched thirst" and "sun-baked ground." It is expressive of the hunger and thirst felt by those who spend the month in fasting. Ramadan is a very special time for Muslims, but the feelings and lessons we experience should stay with us throughout the year. In the Qur'an, Muslims are commanded to fast so that they may "learn self-restraint" (Qur'an 2:183). This restraint and devotion is especially felt during Ramadan, but we all must strive to make the feelings and attitudes stay with us during our "normal" lives. That is the true goal and test of Ramadan.

It's believed that in this month that the Qu'ran was revealed to the prophet Mohammad. The fast is done during daylight hours for 30 days. Of course, those who are ill or small children do not fast. Ramadan is basically the spiritual cleansing of the soul through self restraint. Through fasting, a Muslim experiences hunger and thirst, and sympathizes with those in the world who have little to eat everyday. Muslims fill day and night with prayer, reading Qur'an just to get closer to Allah and recognize that everything we have in this life is a blessing from Allah.

 

May Allah accept our fasting, forgive our sins and guide us all to the Straight Path in everyday of our life. May Allah bless us all during Ramadan and throughout the year, with forgiveness, mercy, and peace.
