Hajj season is one of the times when pilgrims are exposed to harsh climatic conditions, especially high temperatures and prolonged sun exposure, which increases the risk of dehydration and fluid loss. Therefore, it's essential to stay hydrated in healthy and safe ways to perform the rituals with energy and good health.
Here are the top tips to keep your body hydrated during Hajj:
🔹 Drink water regularly
Don't wait until you feel thirsty—make drinking water a constant habit throughout the day. It's best to always carry a water bottle with you. Insulated water bottles can help keep your water cool.
🔹 Avoid sugary or caffeinated drinks
Such as soft drinks and coffee, as they increase urination and may lead to further fluid loss.
🔹 Use sunscreen
Constant sun exposure can lead to sunburn and general fatigue, reducing your ability to perform Hajj rituals. Make sure to use sunscreen with a suitable SPF and reapply it every two hours.
🔹 Wear light, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing
This helps ventilate the body and reduce the feeling of heat. Use a hat or a small umbrella to protect your head from direct sunlight.
🔹 Eat fruits rich in water
Such as watermelon, cucumber, and oranges. They provide your body with water and essential minerals.
