MUSCAT : The Ministry has released following tips to help observers of Ramadan fasting:

  • Consult your doctor before deciding to fast, especially in cases of type 1 diabetes or kidney and liver disease.
  • If you are taking certain medications, adjust the time of taking them in preparation for fasting after consulting your doctor.
  • Make sure to follow a healthy diet as recommended by the doctor and nutritionist and end the suhoor meal as much as possible, and make breakfast rich in vegetables, fruits and protein.
  • Drink sufficient amounts of water between breakfast and suhoor, and reduce the intake of stimulants such as tea, coffee, and soft drinks.
  • Postpone exercise until after breakfast to avoid episodes of low blood sugar.
