Ramadan is a time to reset healthy habits, but often changes in eating and sleeping patterns lead to feelings of sluggishness and digestive issues. In this context, "dynamic fasting" emerges as an innovative way to activate the body and improve digestion without overloading it.

How does "dynamic fasting" work? This method involves walking for 5 to 10 minutes after each prayer during the hours of Iftar, allowing the body to adjust to dietary changes, improving blood flow to organs, and helping reduce bloating and fullness.
Instead of sitting immediately after Iftar or Suhoor, light walking can be a simple solution to avoid the feeling of heaviness and lethargy.
According to Health Line, here are the health benefits of "dynamic fasting":
1. Improves Digestion Light walking helps activate the intestines and stimulate the digestive system, reducing issues like constipation and bloating.
2. Boosts Energy Levels After Iftar, blood sugar levels rise, and lethargy may lead to feelings of sluggishness. Regular walking helps regulate energy levels and prevents sudden fatigue.
3. Stimulates Metabolism Walking after meals helps improve metabolism, which aids in maintaining a healthy weight.
4. Reduces Pressure on the Heart Moderate movement after meals helps regulate blood circulation, reducing sudden spikes after heavy meals.
5. Improves Sleep Quality Light activity after dinner or Suhoor can improve sleep and reduce feelings of insomnia caused by a full stomach.
To apply "dynamic fasting" effectively, it is recommended to walk for a short duration after each prayer, from Maghrib to Taraweeh, in open spaces or within the home. The walking pace should be moderate to avoid fatigue or disrupting digestion.
Additionally, combining the activity with spiritual practices such as Dhikr or listening to the Quran enhances the experience. To ensure proper hydration, it is advised to drink an adequate amount of water during walking periods.
