Drinking adequate water during a fast is crucial to maintaining proper hydration. It is recommended to stay away from intense exercise and focus on activities like yoga

This diet has several benefits including health and physiological effects. It may also improve blood pressure and blood sugar levels

Water fasting may promote autophagy,  a process in which old parts of your cells are broken down and recycled

However, it poses certain risks as it is not the healthiest way to lose weight. Consumption of only water will not provide all the necessary nutrients

Sipping only water can also dehydrate you, which can lead to low blood pressure, headaches, nausea, constipation, dizziness, and decreased productivity

Before starting any new diet, including water fasting, people should always contact a healthcare professional
