Jennifer Dix, a sports trainer in the Department of Sports Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic in the United States, said that there are a number of standards that fasting people can apply during Ramadan to exercise safely. Dix highlights guidelines that can help anyone who wants to maintain their exercise during the month of Ramadan.

Suhoor and Iftar meals should include complex carbohydrates (such as brown bread), lean proteins, and healthy fats, she said. She also suggested drinking up to a liter of water in the morning with suhoor.
