Ramadan 2025 is upon us, a time of spiritual reflection and fasting for millions of Muslims worldwide. As Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn to dusk, it is essential to consider the potential impact on the body and make informed choices about nutrition and hydration. As the sun sets, Muslims gather with loved ones to break their fast, sharing in a tradition that fosters connection and community. The traditional breaking of the fast with dates and water symbolises humility and gratitude.
