These wrong practices may exacerbate the difficulties they face during fasting hours, and increase the chances of gastrointestinal confusion, headache or even weight gain. Correcting this information will change the diet, and all associated harm.
The error
Some believe that a lot of drinking water, especially with eating, leads to the emergence of the abdomen, so they work to control the amount of water they eat, or reduce the doses of water that the body needs, thinking that reducing it leads to reducing the appearance of the abdomen.
Righteousness
Lama Al-Naeli, the health and nutrition specialist and the Welnas by Design Foundation, confirmed that the link between drinking too much water and the emergence of the abdomen is wrong, because drinking water does not cause the appearance of the abdomen, no matter how much time has been consumed, whether water was consumed during eating a meal, Or before or after food, as well as whatever the amount of water varies, indicating that it cannot affect weight or even increase the size of the abdomen. She pointed out that, on the contrary, water helps extend one's sense of satiety, especially if it is in a calculated amount, and therefore helps in reducing weight. Water at all times is beneficial and healthy and moisturizes the body, especially with the high temperature in the summer, so the blessed month of Ramadan coincided With the month of summer, the body makes fluids lose, and it is necessary to drink water at all times, in batches, at the rate of a cup every hour, during the period from breakfast to suhoor.
