How to Water Fast


Water fasting is simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. During a water fast, you can’t consume anything but water. If you’ve never done a water fast before, you might want to prepare your body by gradually decreasing your calorie consumption for a few days leading up to your fast. If you do engage in a water fast, try to resist the urge to eat a big meal. After restricting yourself from calories for an extended period of time, consuming large amounts of food can cause digestive discomfort or nausea. At worst (though it’s unlikely), you are at risk for refeeding syndrome, a potentially fatal condition that involves rapid metabolic changes, usually in people who are extremely malnourished. Instead, start by adding caloric beverages like milk or juice, and work your way up using snacks and small meals. By the third day post-fast, you should be able to eat normally again.
How much water should I drink?


The first thing to remember is that 60 – 70% of our body is WATER. So, it’s crucial that you drink enough quantity of water, which should not be less than 8 – 10 glasses daily, to support the cleansing process. Drinking not enough water is during water fasting is the problem we observe the most. The body gets dehydrated, as a result, it becomes more acidic, and the cells don’t get hydrated enough to keep the blood alkalized.

Dangers of Water Fasting

1) Nutrient Deficiencies:-
Any fasting protocol can put you at risk for nutrient deficiencies. By restricting calories, you are also restricting essential vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids, and electrolytes—all things your body needs to function properly.
2)Dehydration:-
Even though you drink water during a water fast, you can be at risk for dehydration. For most people, at least 20 percent of daily water consumption comes from the foods you eat. If you don’t increase your water intake during the fast, you will actually end up consuming much less water than usual. 3)Hypotension:-

Hypotension is extremely low blood pressure—the opposite of hypertension, or high blood pressure. It can cause dizziness and lightheadedness. 4)Hyponatremia;-

Also called water intoxication, hyponatremia occurs when the water and salt lost through sweating are replaced by water only. You shouldn’t exercise during a water fast because you will lose salt through perspiration and won’t be able to replace it by eating food or drinking sports beverages. Use electrolytes every day in your water. 5)Dizziness, Fatigue, and Trouble Focusing:-


Dizziness, fatigue, and brain fog are all symptoms of extreme calorie restriction. When you don’t consume the number of calories your body needs, your body will struggle to perform at an optimal level. It may become difficult to focus at work or school during a water fast. Fasting can also cause mild-to-severe headaches. 6)Binge Eating:-

Fasting—and dieting or restricting calories in general—often leads to binge eating. Fasting can also lead to obsessive or intrusive thoughts about food, which may cause you to binge eat when your water fast is over.
