Fasting on the water
Fasting is one of the most extreme ways of influencing the body, including in order to lose weight. Moreover, hunger from the point of view of medicine is even just a strong restriction of the energy value of food per day. These are the so-called "fasting days" (up to 800 kilocalories per day or less). Sometimes fasting is a necessary measure - before or after surgery or procedures. Various methods of recovery also sometimes contain recommendations for fasting. Remember that you must carefully prepare your body for such a diet. There are diseases in which you cannot severely limit yourself in nutrition. So, for example, diabetes mellitus, gastritis, peptic ulcer, cholecystitis can provoke complications during fasting. To identify contraindications to fasting, consult a specialist. Special,if you intend to stick to the diet for more than one day. It is also important that after a period of hunger, you should start eating again gradually. The time interval for water fasting depends on your goals and well-being. Usually the maximum period is 14 days. For beginners, a one-day water fast will suffice, which should be repeated several times a month.
Fasting on the water
A person can do without water for only a few days, while without food - often more than a month. The water fasting technique involves a complete rejection of food. The liquid is not limited, but you can only drink clean water. Thus, the intake of nutrients is reduced to zero. The body is forced to spend its own reserves. In the first hours of hunger, glycogen is consumed - this substance, which is the main reserve of energy. Glycogen molecules are made from blood sugar and accumulate mainly in the muscles and liver. Under conditions of hunger, glycogen under the influence of enzymes is again converted into glucose and enters the bloodstream. The liver usually accumulates 100-120 grams of glycogen; muscles can contain up to 1% of muscle mass. After the entire volume of glycogen is exhausted, the body begins to use adipose tissue. It is then that the process of losing weight begins. Lipids of adipose tissue are processed in the liver to glucose and ketone bodies. Both are used as energy. Lipid breakdown products must leave the body, as they are toxic in large doses. Therefore, the more water you drink during water starvation, the faster the blood is purified and the better your health.
