thos workers who are not allowed to drink water during the day in 40+ weather. I understand the BASIS behind it but seriously...the human body needs to be hydrated when you are sweating out fluid than you are putting in. I just hope in those instances its not a forced fasting of liquids but up to the individual.
Someone said that most folks don't work out in the heat but in the airconditioning..if that is so then no, there isn't much of a problem with the no liquids...I'm not one of those though, so when I come home from the shelter, I have to admit to being a bit irritated that I can't drink water on the way home, which is about a 45 minute drive. And yes, I do drink a lot of water while there, but it takes more to rehydrate what is lost in the 3 hours I am out in the sun and heat dog walking or doing manual labor. I always believed fasting is an individual sacrifice and that even if you see someone eating in front of you, if you truly believe in what you are doing, then it won't affect your dedication. Forcing others to do what you do, simply because it makes it easier for you, rather defeats the purpose, in my eyes.
PH...I don't think Oryx meant anything by what she said. I know many Muslims that do the same thing during Ramadan, if their lives allow.
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
