11 Products To Help You Fast So Much Better This Yom Kippur

09/19/24 02:15 pm
Don't let the dread of fasting keep you from having a meaningful day this Yom Kippur.

Here are some of our favorite tips and products for the holiest day of the year.



Preparation

1. Starting At Least 3 Days Before Amp Up The Hydration

Preparing in advance for the fast will set you up for success. Starting a few days earlier really up your intake of fluids and more specifically electrolytes, as water will simply flush out of your system, while electrolytes will help your body absorb the fluids.

 
 
 

2. Coconut Water Is A Great Hydrator With Natural Electrolytes

Drink it nice and cold for a refreshing drink. If you're not a fan of the taste, make sure you're drinking it cold, or you can mix it with juice or a smoothie.

 
 
 

3. A Sportsdrink Will Contain Electrolytes, If You Don't Mind The Extra Sugar

Making your own drink will definitely let you control the sugar you intake, but a sportsdrink like Powerade will also do the job. Don't go overboard on your sugar intake as you don't want to elevate your levels and then be hit with a crash over the fast.

 
 
 

4. Slow Release Painkillers Can Be Amazing To Help You

It seems that everyone has an opinion about these slow release pills, some people love it and some don't. If you tend to suffer from headaches when fasting (and who doesn't ) it's definitely worth trying out these slow release painkillers which take effect 8-10 hours after ingesting. This brand also offers slow release caffeine and slow release electrolytes, but be cautious when using them; if you're sensitive to caffeine it's not a great time to try it out.

 
 
 

On The Day

5. Focus On The Meaning Of The Day

When you're busy in shul for most of the day, it should distract you from the fact that you're getting hungry. For some people it helps to have an English translation in their Machzor to really help tap into the seriousness of the day. Choose the right Machzor for you at the Artscroll Machzor Center.

 
 
 

6. Essential Oils Can Help Revive You When You're Feeling Faint

Smell invigorating oils such as this blend which contains Blood Orange and Peppermint essential oils for a boost of energy when you need it most. Dab it on cotton balls to keep near you in Shul or sniff from the bottle, just beware of it coming in direct contact with skin.

 

 

 

At Home With Littles

7. For Those Who Will Be Home With Kids, Earplugs Might Just Help Your Sanity

We're not saying to ignore your kids and block out all noise - but these Loops ear plugs are very helpful in lowering the levels of noise, if you tend to have a noisy bunch. They have different size ergonomic endings making them more comfortable than the average pair. Because extra noise on Yom Kippur is a big no-no.

 
 
 

8. Prep Children's Food In Advance So You Don't Have To Be Busy With It On Yom Tov

Make the day go easier by prepping what the kids will eat in advance. A potato kugel in the crockpot will be enjoyed by the kids all day on Yom Kippur, just be sure to use extra water so as not to burn it. Bonus: you can have a hot dish for break fast as well!

 
 
 

9. Pull Out New Toys That Will Entertain The Little Ones

This busy board can keep a little one busy for hours, locking and unlocking the various types of latches. It's a big hit and great for quiet playtime.

 
 
 

10. A Great One Person Game For Lots Of Different Ages

This sweet game of logic has levels easy to hard to occupy multiple ages, and we even  know some adults enjoy playing, too.

 
 
 

11. A Great Two Person Game That Is Easy To Learn But Will Entertain For A While

This fun game is a great time for two or more players. Simply find the matching image on two of the cards first to win. Surprisingly tricky but fun!
