Can someone explain how dry fasting for 7 days can be safe?

Reading a page online, one dies without drinking and eating after about 10 days. Since so many do the dry fasting, I wanted to know, what is the number of days that actually sends a person off?.

Answer

I have dry fasted alot. Never died once.

Serious non sugar coated answer. If you cant guage your own body and understand the difference between a craving and an emergency you should not do it. As long as you have body fat you have a ton of stored water on you. The record for a dry fast is like 18 days. I used to be be one of those people who just took those sayings at face value(oh you cant go more than 3 days without water). Now i know the actual science and facts.

Answer

I’ve dry fasted for 9. 5 days.How can it be safe? If what you ask of your body doesn’t exceed what it can give.

Same way a marathon can be safe for someone and deadly to another.

Have someone dry fast for 2 days in the desert he’ll die.Have me dry fast at home for several days, without stress, ideal température, knowledge and training in fasting : it won’t be too hard.

Your body can produce (from fat and inner fluids like lymph) and absorb from the air, a certain quantity of water per hour.

If you make your body need more water than it can produce (by sweating or exercising instead of resting) it’ll be harder.If you make it need the least amount possible (by sleeping a lot, staying in a cool room) or if you make it absorb water through the skin (by walking in a humid forest or having a shower) it will be easier.

If you’re young, healthy, are used to fasting, it’ll be easier too.

And so on…

I hope I was able to convey the logic to you.

So a few thoughts on this:

Answer

I would guess about 20 days without food and water and you would likely be dead. Btw, check out the study on the sidebar. A group of regular people went 5 days without food or water and were fine. They even showed improved kidney function among other things.
