The second pandemic Ramadan is upon us. Starting on Tuesday, Muslims around the world will observe this holy month by abstaining from food and water from sunrise to sunset each day, engaging in more charitable acts and focusing on heightened spirituality and worship. While Ramadan is typically a time for community, COVID-19 has made that aspect a lot harder. But one thing remains the same the act of fasting. It can be difficult to maintain the same levels of energy and hydration when foregoing food and water all day, which makes it all the more important to be mindful of what you eat during the hours between iftar (breaking fast) and eating suhoor (the early morning meal).
