I am going to use a cleansing fast. I am not overweight. I am 34 years old and my he alth is good. I read that you can go on a 14-day fast without harming your he alth. Is this true and what do you think about cleansing fasts?
I consider cleansing fasts to be a good method, provided that they do not last longer than 2-3 days. On the other hand, the 14-day fasting described by you may unfortunately be dangerous because it leads to metabolic acidosis and electrolyte disturbances, which in the current heat wave may have bad consequences, and in the worst case even end up in a hospital stay. I personally advise against it. Besides, if you are he althy, I see no justification.
