* Eat something small every two hours (nosh).
* Avoid foods with caffeine and salt.
* Drink plenty of water.

Final Meal before the Fast (Seudat Mafseket)

* Plan the final meal before the fast early enough in the afternoon so there is no rush to finish before the fast begins.
* Plan the menu of this final meal so that it contains high carbohydrate and low salt foods.
* Do not eat too much in the meal before the fast, but drink plenty of water.
* Leave time after the meal and before the fast to drink warm water with sugar and brush teeth.
