Emirati swimmer Alia Al Ahmed says self-discipline is what keeps her on track with her athletic goals, providing her with a powerful inner compass even during Ramadan.
Although, routines change for Muslims during the holy month as it involves fasting from sunrise to sunset, 18-year-old Alia, who has represented the UAE in swimming competitions, says mind control is key in the world of sports, even as she stays observant.
For many Ramadan can be a challenging time to balance work and health while fasting, but the young adult who has been fasting since the age of seven has dexterously learnt to navigate the intensity of this month.
“Athletes should especially take care, maintaining a healthy routine throughout Ramadan. Sometimes it’s easy to fall into habits that entail reversing your schedule and staying up all night and sleeping all day. But the true meaning of Ramadan is to appreciate what you have and to create more healthy habits rather than unhealthy ones,”
