Turning its back on the popularity of intermittent fasting, water fasting has once again become a hot topic in the popular diet world. Water fasting is not a new approach. Dating back to ancient Greece, this diet has been popular at times.
Water fasting can provide several health benefits, including weight loss and a reduced risk of certain chronic conditions. However, it comes with various risks and may not be suitable for everyone.
WHAT IS WATER FAST?
Water fasting is a type of fasting that restricts everything except water. It has become more popular in recent years as a quick way to lose weight.
Studies have shown that water fasting can have health benefits. For example, it can reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases and helps your body break down and recycle old parts of your cells.
However, human studies of water fasting are very limited. Moreover, it carries many health risks and is not suitable for everyone.
Most water fasts last 24-72 hours. You should not water fast for longer than this without medical supervision.
WHY DO PEOPLE WATER FAST?
Here are a few reasons why people should try water fasting:
spiritual reasons
Lose weight

For health benefits
Preparing for a medical procedure
The main reason people try water fasting is to improve their health.
In fact, many studies have linked water fasting to some impressive health benefits, such as reduced risks of certain cancers, heart disease, and diabetes.
HOW WATER FAST IS APPLIED?
There is no scientific guide on how to start a water fast.
However, few groups of people should not water fast without medical supervision.
Water fasting is risky for gout, diabetes and eating disorders, the elderly, pregnant women and children.
During the water fast, you cannot eat or drink anything other than water.
Most people drink two to three liters of water a day during a water fast.
Some people may feel sluggish or dizzy during a water fast and should avoid heavy machinery and driving to avoid causing an accident.
After a water fast, you must resist the urge to eat a big meal.
This is because overeating after fasting can cause uncomfortable symptoms.
Instead, break your fast with smaller meals. Once you feel more comfortable, you can start consuming larger meals throughout the day.
