In the following report, we offer Ramadan tips for patients with anemia, and if the doctor tells you regarding the possibility of fasting in Ramadan, you must follow a set of important conditions and advice, which we learn regarding in the next report.
1- Hastening to eat a meal for breakfast: and not to be late for it, it is sufficient for the long day during which the patient refrains from eating, and the Suhoor meal should be delayed as much as possible so that the fasting period is as little as possible.
2- Starting to eat dates: it becomes more important for those suffering from anemia, because dates contain natural sugars that are quickly absorbed by the body, in addition to containing iron and minerals important for patients with anemia.
3- Eat a balanced breakfast: that is, it contains all the nutrients, in order to restore the important elements that are lost during fasting.
4- Eat fruits, especially strawberries, figs, bananas and apples, because they also contain the main substance for red blood cells, which is iron.
5- Paying attention to the suhoor meal: and choosing foods rich in iron as well, such as beans and blackstrap molasses, and you can put some drops of lemon juice on beans or yogurt at suhoor because it helps absorb iron.
6- Adherence to medication appointments: where the doctor prescribes specific dates for taking medications that are commensurate with fasting times, and you should not be late for them.
7- Avoid drinking stimulants: such as tea, coffee and soft drinks, because they prevent iron absorption in the body.
8- Taking a sufficient amount of rest: and sleeping more hours, preferably during the fasting period, as well as staying away from activities that cause stress.
9- Eating food if the patient feels tired: he may not tolerate fasting and needs to eat foods that are important to his sick condition, and then he must take a complete meal as well as fluids, and if he does not feel better, he should see the doctor.
