Water Fasting: Is It Safe for Weight Loss?

Water fasting involves drinking only water for a set period, typically 24–72 hours. It's an ancient practice used for spiritual and health reasons.

Potential Benefits

Studies suggest it may promote autophagy, a process where your body breaks down and recycles old parts of your cells.

The Risks

Without medical supervision, extended water fasting can lead to nutrient deficiencies, dehydration, and dangerous drops in blood pressure.
