Lebaran mudik is an annual Indonesian tradition involving long, tiring journeys. Two Viva.co.id articles by Siska Permata Sari provide practical guides for maintaining health and fasting during these trips, compiled on Thursday, March 19, 2026. One focuses on general health, the other on Ramadan fasting. General health tips include: maintain body condition before departure with sufficient rest and vitamins; prepare personal medications, hand sanitizer, masks; choose nutritious, hygienic food, avoid oily or spicy; drink enough water to prevent dehydration, limit caffeine; rest every 3-4 hours to stretch muscles; wear loose, comfortable clothing; keep personal and environmental hygiene. For fasting during mudik: do not skip sahur with complex carbs, protein, fiber; increase water intake at sahur and iftar; avoid excessive physical activity; manage sufficient rest; choose less crowded, cooler travel times; prepare portable iftar like dates and mineral water; avoid overly sweet or oily foods at iftar; wear comfortable clothing. Both articles emphasize adapting to travel conditions to remain comfortable and fit with family.
