VIVA – Indonesia entered the holy month of Ramadhan on March 23, 2023, where all Muslims start fasting for a whole month. Usually, during the fasting month, Iftar is one of the things that people look forward to.
It turns out that there are some common mistakes that people make and these mistakes should be avoided, as they can have an impact on health and inhibit some other activities.
1. Overeating
Many people tend to overeat during iftar as they have gone without food all day. This can lead to digestive problems, discomfort, and even weight gain. It is important to break the fast with a light meal and then wait for a while before having a more substantial meal.
2. Consuming too much sugar

It is common to consume a lot of sugary drinks and desserts during iftar, but this can lead to a spike in blood sugar levels, followed by a crash. It is best to consume natural sources of sugar such as fruits and avoid sugary drinks and desserts.
3. Eating too fast
After a day of fasting, it can be tempting to eat quickly, but this can lead to digestive problems and discomfort. It is important to eat slowly and mindfully, savoring the food and enjoying the company of those around you.
4. Not drinking enough water
It is essential to stay hydrated during iftar, but many people tend to focus on food and forget to drink enough water. It is important to drink plenty of water throughout the evening to prevent dehydration.

It can be easy to indulge in fried and fatty foods during iftar, but it is important to prioritize healthy food choices. Include fruits, vegetables, and lean protein in your iftar meal to ensure a balanced and nutritious diet.
6. Drinking tea
Drinking tea when breaking the fast has become a tradition for Indonesians and must be an appetizer drink. It turns out that drinking tea when breaking the fast has several health risks. By drinking tea, it can make the body often want to urinate.
Well, this is certainly very disturbing. Well, this is certainly very disturbing also when performing Taraweeh prayers.
7. Not sharing with others
Ramadhan is a time of community and sharing. It is important to invite others to share your iftar meal and to donate to charity to help those in need. By sharing with others, you can spread the spirit of Ramadhan and build stronger relationships with those around you.
