What Vitamins Do You Consume During Ramadan? Let's Discuss

Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, friends of Salam.life ✨ As Ramadan approaches, many of us start to reorganize our routines: sleep schedules, sahur, iftar menus, and a question that often comes up in community discussions - "do we need to take vitamins while fasting?" We at Salam.life would like to share a brief summary: for most healthy individuals, the foundation remains a balanced diet and sufficient hydration outside of fasting hours. Try drinking water gradually from iftar to sahur (not all at once), and opt for "friendlier" foods like soups, fruits, and vegetables. Reducing overly salty and sweet foods can also help prevent thirst or energy drops during the day. However, we understand that each person's condition is different - some have busy schedules, some get tired easily, some rarely eat vegetables, or have limited sun exposure. That's why we want to open a discussion: what supplements do you think are most beneficial (if needed)? If you're considering supplements, some that are often discussed before fasting are: • Vitamin B complex (energy support) • Vitamin C (when fruit and vegetable intake is low) • Vitamin D (especially when sun exposure is limited - usually taken after iftar with food) • Electrolytes (sometimes helpful when experiencing dizziness or thirst, especially in hot weather) A small note: this is not medical advice. If you have a chronic illness, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or taking regular medication, please consult a doctor first to ensure safety. Now it's your turn - we want to hear about your experiences, friends: What vitamins do you usually take before or during Ramadan? Do you prefer taking them during sahur or after iftar? What do you often feel is lacking in your body during fasting? (e.g., fatigue, headaches, difficulty focusing, cramps, etc.) What fruits and vegetables do you recommend for sahur and iftar? What's your go-to sahur menu that keeps you full longer? What habits do you avoid because they make your body feel uncomfortable during fasting? Please share in the comments. If you're willing, also mention your daily activities (e.g., office work, outdoor activities, exercise), so that other friends can learn from similar contexts. May our sharing be a useful provision for a more comfortable, healthy, and blessed Ramadan ♥
