Khaberni - Studies indicate that light movement after breakfast helps improve digestion and reduce issues of bloating and feelings of heaviness during Ramadan.
A short walk for about 10–15 minutes after eating is ideal to support the digestion process and stimulate blood circulation, without putting pressure on the stomach.
Moderate movement after breakfast helps the body to better absorb nutrients and reduces the risks of blood sugar spikes, especially in fasting individuals who suffer from diabetes or insulin resistance.
Light physical activity also enhances the secretion of digestive juices, which contributes to breaking down food more quickly and reduces feelings of nausea or bloating.
It is advised to avoid intense exercises right after breakfast, as they may cause body stress and acid reflux. A quiet walk around the house or in the garden, or performing some simple stretches, effectively aid the stomach and intestines in performing their functions smoothly.
This movement also provides an opportunity to enhance family bonds by walking with family members or friends, combining health benefits with social activity.
Experts attest that incorporating light movement into the daily Ramadan routine contributes to maintaining a healthy weight, improving sleep, and feeling energetic throughout the long hours of fasting.
Thus, light movement after breakfast becomes a simple yet effective daily habit for maintaining digestive system health and enjoying a more comfortable fast, along with the physical activity that the body needs after long hours of fasting.
