These are the longest days we have fasted. Given that the days are long and the weather is hot, those who spend a lot of time in the sun and have heart problems can face a number of complications. Therefore, it is necessary to take some measures at imsak so that we do not feel very thirsty, our blood does not thicken too much, and we feel good so that we can at least fast tomorrow. So, it is better to drink at least 3 liters of raw water between iftar and imsak. This figure does not apply to tea and fruit juices. Tea and fruit juices dehydrate the body, so only raw water should be preferred. It is better to cut a lemon with its peel into small pieces, throw the pieces into 3-4 cups of raw water and drink it during imsak. Try not to drink tea during imsak; if you want to drink, drink light tea and with lemon. To prevent thirst, you can infuse a teaspoon of hibiscus flowers in 3 cups of water and drink it both hot and cold. Hibiscus tea should be drunk after meals.
People with low blood pressure can drink a teaspoon of honey or bakmaz mixed in one cup. It is very good to mix natural apple vinegar with the raw water and drink it at Imsak. So, you can mix a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water and drink it. It is also very useful for those who want to lose weight. Avoid foods that are too salty and too spicy at Imsak because these are the foods that cause thirst.
