Fasting for Ramadan: 5 key tips to nourish your body and soul
While fasting, individuals focus on prayer, reflection, and self-discipline. Here are five tips to help make fasting on Arafat Day a spiritually fulfilling and physically manageable experience. Hydration is Key
Begin your fast with a balanced suhoor meal that includes plenty of fluids and hydrating foods such as fruits and vegetables. Drink plenty of water during non-fasting hours to prevent dehydration. Avoid caffeine and sugary drinks, as they can cause thirst. Eat Nutritious Foods
Opt for wholesome, nutrient-rich meals during iftar (breaking the fast) to replenish your body's energy levels. Include complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and healthy fats to sustain you throughout the fasting period. Avoid overeating or indulging in heavy, greasy foods, which can lead to discomfort and sluggishness. Moderate Physical Activity
While intense exercise may be challenging during fasting hours, light physical activity such as walking or gentle stretching can help maintain energy levels and promote overall well-being. Listen to your body and avoid strenuous activities, especially during the hottest parts of the day. Prioritize Rest and Sleep
Ensure you get adequate rest and sleep during Ramadan to support your body's fasting process. Aim for seven to eight hours of sleep per night and consider taking short naps during the day if needed. Establish a bedtime routine to promote relaxation and quality sleep. Focus on Spiritual Growth
Use the opportunity of Ramadan to deepen your connection with your faith. Allocate time each day for spiritual reflection and self-improvement. Engage in community iftars and taraweeh prayers to foster a sense of unity and solidarity with fellow Muslims. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram

General Skincare Tips for Summer: Hydrate Inside & Out – Swap heavy creams for gel-based moisturizers and drink plenty of water to combat dehydration. SPF is Non-Negotiable – Apply (and reapply!) a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, even on cloudy days. Exfoliate Wisely – Use a gentle chemical exfoliant (like AHAs or PHAs) 1-2 times a week to prevent clogged pores without over-stripping skin. Soothing is Key – Incorporate calming ingredients like aloe vera, niacinamide, and centella asiatica to reduce redness from sun exposure. Opt for Lightweight Layers – Choose water-based serums and oil-free formulas along with sunscreen, and skip moisturizer, to avoid a greasy feel in the humidity. Here are our favorite skincare launches of the season With the right products and a few smart tweaks to your routine, summer skin struggles don't stand a chance.

Kris Aquino announced she will enter preventive isolation for six months as she undergoes treatment for multiple autoimmune diseases. In an Instagram post on August 11, Aquino said she has another infusion session in six days, one of the strongest autoimmune immunosuppressants, alongside other medications that will 'totally wipe out' her immunity. She will be staying at her family's compound in Tarlac, fondly called 'Alto' by her Cojuangco relatives, after spending nearly two months at a private beach property. The TV host and actress shared that her decision to keep a low profile on social media was intentional, citing the worsening of her health condition. Aquino revealed that her autoimmune diseases have increased to 11, adding that she faces life-threatening ailments. She also gave updates on her sons.
