Ramadan is a reflection, prayer, and fasting time from dawn to dusk. While fasting has many spiritual and health benefits, staying hydrated is key to maintaining energy levels and avoiding fatigue. Dehydration can lead to headaches, dizziness, and muscle cramps—especially in warm climates like Dubai. One of the best ways to replenish lost minerals and keep your body hydrated is by drinking homemade electrolyte water during Suhoor and Iftar.

In this post, I’ll share a simple electrolyte water recipe using pink Himalayan salt that can help you feel refreshed and energized throughout Ramadan.

Why Electrolytes Matter During Fasting

Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium are essential for:

• Preventing dehydration and fatigue
• Supporting muscle and nerve function
• Balancing fluids in the body
• Reducing headaches and dizziness

Since we go hours without water, replenishing these minerals is as important as hydrating properly. That’s where pink Himalayan salt electrolyte water comes in.

Homemade Electrolyte Water Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 liter of filtered water
• ¼ teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt
• 1–2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice (for extra electrolytes and flavor)
• 1 teaspoon of raw honey or maple syrup (optional, for natural energy)

Instructions:

1. Pour water into a jug or bottle.
2. Add pink Himalayan salt and stir until dissolved.
3. Squeeze in fresh lemon juice and mix.
4. If desired, add honey for a natural sweetness and energy boost.
5. Enjoy chilled during Suhoor or after Iftar to stay hydrated.
