"Fasting, a method of restricting food intake, has been practiced for thousands of years.
Water fasting is a type of fast that restricts everything except water. It has become more popular in recent years as a quick way to lose weight.
Studies have shown that water fasting could have health benefits. It may lower the risk of some chronic diseases and may stimulate autophagy, a process that helps your body break down and recycle old parts of your cells (1, 2).
That said, human studies on water fasting are very limited. It also comes with many health risks and is not suitable for everyone.
This article gives you an overview of water fasting and how it works, as well as its benefits and dangers."
