DRY FASTING TOO FAR?
IS IT HEALTHY?

2. Earlier, fasting was done for religious reasons. People of
various faiths have practiced various methods of depriving
the body of food and water for a set period.
As more and more people care about their health, fasting
has become a popular way to keep the body in good
shape. Fasting has been done for hundreds of years, but
only recently have people talked about how good it is for
your health.

4. Various fasting methods exist, and ‘dry fasting’ has gained
popularity in recent years. This fast involves going without
water and food for an extended period.
In this post, we will learn whether is it possible to take
dry fasting too far. To understand this better, let’s look at
different methods of dry fasting.

5. 1. Period Fasting: Food consumption is limited to several
days, such as a three-day fast once a month.
2. Intermittent Fasting: Eating and not eating at regular
intervals is known as intermittent fasting. In this type of
fasting, you follow the 16/8 method. You limit food intake
for 16 hours and eat during an 8-hour window.
3. Alternate Day Fasting: In this type of fasting, you eat
every alternate day. In other words, you fast the entire day
on day one and eat the whole day on the second day.
4. Eat-Stop-Eat: In this type of fasting, you fast for 24
hours once or twice a week.

6. In dry fasting, you could become dehydrated or take on to
other problems since you can’t drink water. That’s why it is
suggested not to take dry fasting too far. However, here’s
what can happen if you extend the period of dry fasting.

7.  You may feel hungry and unable to bear it for long. This
can make you feel sick and cranky. However, not eating
for long can also lead to nutrient, vitamin, and mineral
deficiency.
 Your body will not have enough fuel to keep itself
functioning. You may then feel tired. This can also lead
to low blood pressure and electrolyte imbalances.
 You may find it challenging to focus on your work,
studies, and other primary things.
 No fluid intake will make you urinate less, which may
lead to dark and smelly urine. This can also lead to
dehydration, urine infection, and kidney issues. This can
also increase the risk of fainting.

8. The recommended time without water is four days, so that
the dry fasting timetable would be at most four days.
However, beginners may do a dry fast for up to 24 hours.

9. Conclusion
We hope this post was helpful and you have understood if
is it possible to take dry fasting too far. Beginners may
start with a soft dry fast, in which you can drink some
water. During the fast, you still don’t drink water or eat any
food. But for how long?

10. Your dry fast should last no more than three or four days.
Some people have gone without food for longer than this.
This is not suggested; you should think long and hard
before doing something like this.
