🕌 Ramadan Fasting & Your Body: What to Expect ✈️

Ramadan

As Ramadan approaches, many pilots, cabin crew, and aviation professionals may wonder how fasting impacts the body. Here’s what happens when you fast:

🔹 Blood Sugar Levels Drop – In the first few hours, your body uses stored glucose for energy.

🔹 Fat Breakdown Increases – After 8+ hours, fat becomes the primary fuel source, leading to weight loss.

🔹 Dehydration Risk – Limited water intake can cause fatigue, headaches, and reduced concentration—stay hydrated during non-fasting hours!

🔹 Metabolic Adaptation – After several days, your body becomes more efficient at using energy, reducing hunger pangs.

🔹 Mental Clarity & Focus – Many report improved mental clarity due to stabilized blood sugar and reduced inflammation.

✈️ Aviation Tip: If you're flying while fasting, be mindful of hydration, rest, and energy levels. Always prioritize safety!
