MEDICAL ADVICE ON FASTING:
Doctor Adeeb Rizvi Head of “S. I. U. T civil Hospital Karachi, who is a leading kidney specialist has appealed to everyone:
DO NOT DRINK COLD DRINK OR WATER TO BREAK YOUR FAST:
Do not take cold drinks such as Pepsi , Cocacola, 7up, Dew etc at fast breaking time . Because long day of fasting causes dehydration of the kidneys. Having cold and fizzy drinks suddenly causes the kidneys to fail. So, don’t drink any cold drinks at fast breaking time. Instead, drink fresh warm water or fresh juices not directly from the fridge.
1) Always break your fast only with warm water
2) Then take non-refrigerated fresh fruits or juice
3) Take liquid food like pap, custard, etc afterwards
4) DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO BREAK YOUR FAST WITH SOLID FOOD LIKE EBA, RICE OR EVEN COLD/REFRIGERATED DRINKS NO MATTER HOW HUNGRY YOU ARE
