We need a fresh constant supply of water. Im not saying drink copious amounts of it, but your body should naturally crave it anyway. But yes, without refrigerators it wasnt unusual for people to go days at a time without eating. That being said, children who are growing shouldnt do it, they turn into a lord of the flies scenario when they go more than a few hours. People who are diabetic/pre diabetic or have other health issues need to be careful as well.
Ive been intermittent fasting since I was 16, over 2 decades now. Started out because I was to proud to claim a free lunch for being poor. But I felt better when doing it. Finally did catch up to me recently. When I got covid I ended up nearly phosphorous deplete, which seems to be a common symptom in covid admissions.
I stopped drinking pop because I thought it was giving me gout, didnt drink it for 12 months. Did nothing to stop the gout, turns out my beta blocker was likely giving me the gout because I have an acute kidney injury from a hypertensive episode that lasted at least 7 months. Not only was it giving me gout, it was depriving my body of phosphorous, no wonder my neck started hurting around the time I quit drinking the pop. I tried to drink milk but have a hard time digesting it because of a tick bite a decade back.
I say likely because its been 6 months and I still havent been able to get a Canadian doctor to do anything more than prescribe blood tests for the phosphorous which is slowly going up(because im drinking pop again..).... I tried supplements, didnt do anything to boost my levels so for whatever reasons its just not getting in my system like its supposed to. Calcium is ok, blood sugar is ok, kidney function is ok, vitamin d is ok. Doctors just scratch their heads. I feel they are betting that I was either an alcoholic, have terminal cancer, or itll just spontaneously go away on its own. God damned idiots.
Intermittent fasting is not a magical cure all, I seen some girl in the r/con board asking about doing it so she could lose a few lbs. That's a horrible reason to do it. People who are worried about their sugars, cholesterol, etc, who want to try and control their conditions without medications, this is definitely something to try.
For otherwise healthy people, intermittent fasting is about the only way to save a few dollars anymore :/. How bad are things going to get before they boot the new economy in 2030 I wonder.
