Get your body hydrated enough. Hydrating your body is very essential in Ramadan. Since you cannot drink anything throughout the daytime, don’t drink too much at iftar also. Have your daily dose of water i.e. 10 - 12 glasses within small intervals of time. Limit your consumption of caffeine i.e. coffee and tea, as they are very much dehydrating. Skipping a Suhoor meal should not be an option. Suhoor meal is very essential for the person who is intending for fasting.
