Water fasting lasts up to 24 to 72 hours: What happens beyond it?

India Today  

Fasting is a method to control the intake of food to help the body undergo effective weight loss. Water fasting is a method of fasting in which a person only drinks water for a stipulated time without any food consumption. According to Reshma Aleem, Senior Clinical Dietician, Rela Hospital, Chennai, water fasting, known as the "zero-calorie diet" is often pursued not just for weight loss but even spiritual reasons. For those attempting water fasting for the first time, weakness, dizziness, and low blood pressure are common side effects. "Given the risks of dehydration and imbalances in sodium and potassium levels, it is always advisable to undertake water fasting under medical supervision," warned Aleem.
