Yom Kippur is just around the corner, and many are preparing for it ahead of time.

In order to facilitate those preparations, the experts of Forever Israel, the world's largest grower and marketer of aloe vera and aloe vera products, have compiled for you some effective ways that will help you pass the fast in the best possible way - and pass it safely.

• Eat until you are full at the break meal, without exaggerating: it is true, the 25-hour fast will not increase your number of calories, but this does not mean that you should overdo it at the last meal, but the opposite - a heavy meal, one that has components with a high glycemic value (such as a potato ), which cause a rapid release of the sugars, will cause a feeling of satiety for a relatively short time.

  That's why you should eat foods such as rice and pasta alongside vegetables and a portion of protein, which have a low glycemic value, which will keep you feeling full for a long time.

• A healthy mind: many studies show that there is a direct relationship between our mental state and the amount of food we consume.

  Therefore, it is worthwhile to arrive on the day that is considered a day of soul-searching in a reconciled and calm mood, which will also help us pass the fast more easily, without feelings of guilt.

  Do not get into unnecessary fights or stressful situations before starting the fast, and try as much as possible to clear your head of disturbing thoughts.

• Agenda: Boredom can be an accelerating factor for a feeling of hunger, and on Yom Kippur this point could be a danger to breaking the fast.

  You should plan for this day the times of prayer and stay in the synagogue, and plan a time to meet with friends or take a short walk around the house.

  And this is also important: incorporate into your daily routine time for rest and spending time with family.

• Gradually reduce caffeine: It is true that caffeine is perfectly legal, but it is considered one of the most addictive natural substances among many consumers, especially coffee lovers.

  Avoiding its consumption, certainly for a whole day without prior preparation, may cause symptoms of headaches, nausea, nerves and impatience.

  To avoid these effects during the fast, reduce the amount of caffeine gradually during the days before the fast.

• Nutritional supplements: bee pollen is the component that bees collect from flower pollinators, and is considered one of the most complete foods in nature.

  Without the pollen, plants, trees and flowers would not exist, therefore humans also depend on it.

  is a rich source of many minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus, enzymes and co-enzymes, fatty acids from plants, carbohydrates, proteins and about 22 amino acids.

  It is recommended to take a bee pollen supplement in the days before and after the fast, to strengthen the body, nourish it and make up for deficiencies.

• Aloe vera drinks: It is known that on the day before the fast to drink more, and another thing that should be done is to combine the water with natural aloe drinks as well.

  The aloe vera plant is known to have many beneficial properties and is considered one of the oldest and most popular medicinal plants.

  Most of us know it and use it as a gel that is used to soothe the skin, but it can also be consumed as a drink enriched with amino acids, vitamins, natural antioxidants and minerals essential to the body.

  
  

  In fact, the aloe vera plant contains most of the nutrients necessary for humans, and is therefore considered a complete and nutritious food.

  Moreover, drinking an aloe vera drink is a natural and healthy way to energize the body and provide it with a boost of energy, with a minimum of calories.

  Because it is loaded with essential vitamins, it is known for its ability to increase energy and mood, so it can be used before and after the fast.
