muslims do this during daylight in ramadan
it really can't be a long term thing, it's really bad for the kidneys, but i think there is some benefit to doing this kind of short term fasting from water
Discussion
So I've read. Have contemplated it, but I think I'm part fish. 😅
i'm prone to consuming diuretic drinks in general, fasting is a real challenge for me at all and dry fasting would be even harder, but without those diuretics i obviously would have lesser need for water anyway
i'm only gonna even consider it anyway if there is actually a health benefit
probably there is... in general living things are antifragile and benefit from periodic strain
I'd be even more reluctant if I thought I had kidney issues too.
yeah, i definitely do, so it's kinda out of the question for me at this point
but when i have pushed back this neuropathy at last i might think of it as a way to put some stress on my kidneys to keep them on their toes, as part of some of the time of my fasts... i think daylight no water would be a good thing to have periodically with the process of doing a full long fast
anyhow, hypothetical because right now my kidneys are definitely on the ropes
