Ramadan 2024: Tips to Stay Active During the Holy Month of Ramzan

One of the most sacred months for Muslims worldwide is Ramadan, also referred to as Ramazan or Ramzan. It is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. The Islamic month of Ramadan, which is observed with communal meals, prayer, introspection, and fasting (roza), is of great significance. This year, Ramadan is set to begin in India on Tuesday, March 12, after moon sighting in Saudi Arabia on March 10. Throughout the month of Ramadan, Muslims across the world fast from sunrise to sunset. Suhur is the pre-dawn meal, whereas Iftar, or dates and water, is the meal that ends the fast.

Ramadan concludes with a celebration known as Eid al-Fitr (the Feast of the Breaking of the Fast), which is one of Islam’s two most significant holidays. In Saudi Arabia, the crescent moon marks the start and end of Ramadan. It also determines whether Ramadan lasts 30 or 29 days.

Maintaining an active lifestyle during Ramadan is important for keeping a healthy lifestyle, but it can be difficult because of the schedule shift and the physical demands of fasting. Furthermore, prioritising rest and sleep will help you stay active and maintain your energy levels, especially in the first few days of fasting when your body is getting used to the new routine.
