Ramadan is a month of fasting and worshiping ALLAH a lot. People now have forgotten their lord and attracted towards western cultures. TV, internet, movies, songs, wasting money on saloons and dieting is an activities of people Muslims and non Muslims. When Ramadan came, people take it as a diet chart now. Fasting doesn’t means a punishment or a duty to make you smart. Fasting means to obey ALLAH and stop yourself from the things ALLAH has stopped you.

People take Ramadan to set their fitness levels. It is true to have a light Ramadan food but it is for making yourself light so that prayers can be performed easily. In Ramadan as we fast the whole day we can control our fitness level by exercise. Don’t leave the food fully, body need food.

Exercise is good for health and makes a man perfect. It saves from many diseases. But in Ramadan avoid having high impact sports. Take food that are easily digested and consume your small portions time by time. Do exercise after breaking your fast. Make sure to do exercise that reduce your fats not your muscles. Reducing fats is important for better health. Exercise should be done before few hours of your fast breaking or after breaking the fast. Avoid training of exercises during fasting, because training will make lose of protein, stamina and strength.

But instead of focusing on your weight, fats and Ramadan recipes you must have to focus on your prayers and ibadats. Do lots of prayers in the month of Ramadan and ask for forgiveness from ALLAH.
