Drinking fresh natural juices with a little sugar is better than industrial juices rich in colors and additives One of the most awaited moments at Iftar is the first drink after the call to Maghrib prayer. After long fasting hours, the body is dehydrated and urgently needs fluids and minerals. Unfortunately, many people unknowingly choose beverages that worsen dehydration instead of treating it.
Industrial juices — although tasty — are loaded with artificial colors, preservatives, and excessive sugars. These ingredients stress the digestive system and increase thirst the next day. Fresh natural juices are a far healthier and more effective option.
What Happens When You Drink Industrial Juices
Packaged drinks contain concentrated sugar syrups rather than real fruit nutrients. When consumed after fasting:
- Blood sugar spikes suddenly
- The pancreas releases excess insulin
- Energy drops rapidly after Iftar
- Thirst increases the following fasting day
Artificial additives also irritate the stomach after hours of emptiness.
Why Fresh Juice Works Better
Fresh juices restore the body naturally. They provide vitamins, minerals, and hydration simultaneously.
Restores Electrolytes Orange and lemon juice restore sodium and potassium balance.
Supports Digestion Natural enzymes prepare the stomach for food intake.
Prevents Overeating Balanced sugar prevents extreme hunger spikes.
Best Ramadan Natural Juices
- Fresh orange juice
- Lemon mint drink
- Watermelon juice
- Hibiscus (karkade)
- Tamarind juice
- Dates smoothie with milk
How Much Sugar Is Acceptable
Natural juice does not mean zero sweetness. A small teaspoon of sugar or honey enhances flavor without harming the body. The key difference is moderation.
Avoid replacing natural sugars with artificial syrups — they increase thirst and fatigue.
Ramadan Hydration Strategy
Follow a simple system:
- Water immediately after dates
- Natural juice after prayer
- Soup during meal
- Water gradually until Suhoor
This pattern keeps the body hydrated for the entire fasting day.
Choosing real juice is not just a dietary preference — it is a fasting comfort decision.
