Tips For Staying Healthy During Hajj

The Hajj pilgrimage is physically challenging.

Partaking in the Hajj pilgrimage puts you in close proximity to 2-3 million people. These large crowds increase the risk of transmitting and becoming infected by various illnesses that spread through close contact.

Prepare For Physical Exertions

A considerable amount of walking is expected with the Hajj pilgrimage, with pilgrims expected to walk between 5 km – 15 km each day. For someone who spends most of their time sitting, this can be challenging to keep up with and sometimes dangerous. By physically preparing the body for the exercise it will endure, you can ensure that you will be able to keep up without harming your body.

Boost your immunity.

Travelling from the U.K. takes a huge toll: long plane rides, layovers, and a wait anywhere from 2 – 12 hrs at the Jeddah airport.

Heat Stroke

Since Hajj takes place in the warm summer months, those who undertake its pilgrimage are at risk of heat stroke from overexertion. This can cause symptoms such as nausea, sudden bouts of chills, or feeling dizzy. Those who are older or with preexisting conditions are at an even higher risk of heat stroke.

Food Poisoning

Food poisoning is also one of the most common issues that those who partake in Hajj experience, with symptoms that include:

nausea
vomiting
stomach cramps or pain
fever
diarrhoea

May Allah make things easy for you and allow you to come back safely.
