Water Fasting
Water fasting maximises autophagy and metabolic reset but requires careful preparation. Electrolyte balance becomes important during longer water fasts. It is not suitable for everyone — those with underlying health conditions, low body weight, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid it. Always consult a healthcare professional before attempting a water fast beyond 24 hours.
A form of fasting in which only water is consumed — no calories from any source. Water fasting is the strictest form of extended fasting and is typically practised for 24 to 72 hours.
