The Muslim holy month of Ramadan starts this week and many students and staff will be fasting. Fasting during the exam period can be very difficult. It’s important that you fast safely and keep yourself healthy.
Here are some helpful tips from the NHS:
Suhoor (the pre-dawn meal) should be a wholesome meal that’s filling and provides energy throughout the day. Pitta bread, salad, cereal (especially oats) or toast provide a constant release of energy. Make sure you get some vitamins too – fruit and fruit juice are good for that revitalising effect.
More information on fasting and your health is available from the NHS: www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-body/fasting-and-your-health
Don't forget to look after your mind as well your body - check out the the Study Well guide.
