10 Foods to keep you Hydrated and Fuller for Longer this Ramadan
As the holy month of Ramadan unfolds, the rhythm of daily life shifts towards mindful eating and intentional living. Fasting from dawn to sunset brings spiritual renewal, but it also places unique demands on the body, particularly when it comes to hydration and satiety. Between suhoor and iftar, nourishing yourself with fluids, electrolytes and slow-release nutrients isn’t just smart, it’s essential. Choosing the right hydrating drinks, nutrient-rich snacks and products that help you feel fuller for longer can support sustained energy, stable blood sugar and a calmer fasting experience. Whether you’re breaking your fast with a refreshing electrolyte drink or starting your day with a protein-rich shake or fibre-packed option, our Ramadan food & drink feature highlights products designed to keep you hydrated and satisfied throughout this month.

✅Emotional Well-being: In Islamic tradition, Talbina is used to alleviate sorrow and grief. Modern science supports this, noting that barley’s magnesium and B-vitamins help regulate mood and reduce stress.
