        This study showed that even a 21-day water fast is safe. Some people are even allowed to go on a 40-day fast. I only stopped at 14 days because my father was annoying me too much about it. It’s difficult to find an opportunity for a long fast so I regret stopping that early now.

          I think there’s a bit more context to this. The study confirmed that the 13 healthy young adult participants didn’t experience any major organ damage, they had a few issues that probably would be quite concerning without a trained medical team watching and taking care of them every day. Urid acid spikes, muscle loss and metabolic slowings. It’s a lot safer in these spaces because someone can measure your electrolyte levels. Without that, you could die.
