Most individuals suffer from headaches or extreme fatigue after eating during Iftar in Ramadan. Not only is the mood spoilt, but irritability is also caused. Fortunately, a well-known herbal medical expert has come forward with easy, natural ways to overcome this.
Why Does This Occur?
Headaches following Iftar, according to the expert, are usually due to:
- Increased gas pressure in the stomach as a result of eating too much.
- Swallowing cold water or beverages hastily.
Easy Solutions to Attempt:
- Begin with dates and water: Break your fast with 1-2 dates and slowly drink room-temperature water (not ice water!).
- Skip fried foods and caffeine: Avoid oily snacks, coffee, tea, or smoking immediately after Iftar—they trigger headaches.
- Eat light: Add fruits such as watermelon or cucumber to keep yourself hydrated.
