Ramadan Mubarak

[WiredIncorrectly]

This year will be my first year doing Ramadan. I am excited, and nervous, but mostly excited. It's going to be a time for a lot of reflection, prayer, healthy eating, good deeds and importantly a detox for the body.

Peace, blessings and love to all.

Congratulations to you. Could you share with us what new things you'll be doing (or not doing)?

I've been daily fasting for years bruv, it's not particularly hard to do if you're eating healthily. I do anything between 15-20 hours a day without food.

The only thing to watch is that for the first few days you'll feel a little light headed and possibly experience increased cortisol.

I'm not a massive fan of not drinking water either, but it depends on how strict you want to be.


Good luck.

I am still taking my medications just not during the fasting period. I take them before, and after.

As this is my first Ramadan I have decided to keep it simple and focus on completing Ramadan. I did have lots of ideas to quit various things but I decided to keep things simple and focused

Yeah it's pretty easy mate. I'm used to eating late anyway. I'm parched, I've got 15 minutes left. Get a good cuppa down me.

Do you want to know something really sad though. My friend asked what I was up to, I said "I'm fasting today, I'll be on later about 8". He called me a pedophile for being Muslim. This is somebody I've known a long time.
