If you have a medical condition or take long-term medication, please consult a doctor or other qualified medical professional before starting any fasting therapy. Hydrotherapy water fasting therapy has certain risks, especially long-term fasting of more than 24 hours. Many people use short-term (24-72 hours) water fasting as an experiment, but everyone's physical condition is different. Here is a rough three-stage process for your reference adjustment: ───────────────────────────────── 【Phase 1: Preparation (Pre-Fast Preparation)】 1. Time: It is recommended to start preparation 2 to 3 days in advance. 2. Diet adjustment: • Gradually reduce the intake of processed foods, high-fat and high-sugar foods, and choose light, water-rich and fiber-rich foods (such as fruits, vegetables, and clear soups). • You can increase the amount of mild liquid foods, such as diluted fruit and vegetable juice or vegetable soup, but try to reduce the intake of high calories. 3. Lifestyle Adjustment: • Get enough sleep, exercise and stress-relieving activities to help your body enter the fasting state smoothly. • Pay attention to hydration and ensure that your daily water intake is above normal needs, so that you can reserve enough water for the fasting period. ──────────────────────────────── 【Phase 2: Fasting Phase】 1. Time: For the first attempt, it is recommended to choose a shorter time, such as 24 to 72 hours of water fasting. For first-timers, it is especially recommended to start with 24 hours to confirm the body's tolerance to fasting. 2. Drinking water requirements: • During the fasting period, only drink boiled water (ideally, maintain a daily water intake of at least 2 to 3 liters, but it can be adjusted appropriately according to weight, climate and activity level). • The water temperature can be warm or room temperature according to personal preference, and avoid extremely cold or hot water. 3. Activities and rest: • During the fasting period, try to avoid high-intensity exercise and excessive physical exertion. It is recommended to do light walking or yoga, meditation and other activities that help calm the mind. • Keep rest and listen to your body’s signals. If you experience severe dizziness, weakness, palpitations or other discomfort, interrupt your fast immediately. 4. Pay attention to monitoring: • Record changes in your body sensations, such as mood, energy level and physical reactions. If you experience obvious discomfort, it is recommended to stop fasting and eat a small amount of easily digestible food, and seek medical advice. ──────────────────────────────── 【Phase 3: Refeeding Phase】 1. Time: After the end of the fast, it is recommended to gradually resume your normal diet over 2 to 3 days. 2. Refeeding principles: • For the first meal, choose mild and easily digestible food, such as warm porridge, clear soup, diluted juice or vegetable puree. • Each meal should be small in size, avoid eating a large amount at one time, and gradually increase the type and amount of food. • Slowly transition to a normal diet to prevent "refeeding syndrome", which may pose a risk to the heart and electrolyte balance. 3. Follow-up observation: • Observe the digestive system and overall condition. If the body has an abnormal reaction, adjust the diet or consult a doctor. ──────────────────────────────── 【Other precautions】 • Fasting taboos: – Pregnant, breastfeeding, growing and developing minors, and people with chronic diseases (such as diabetes, heart disease, liver and kidney dysfunction, etc.) should avoid long-term water fasting. – If you rely on certain medications for a long time, fasting may affect the efficacy and metabolism of the medications. Please be sure to consult a doctor before considering it. • Psychological preparation: – Long-term fasting may be accompanied by mood swings and decreased energy. Be mentally prepared in advance and ensure a safe and comfortable environment during the fasting period. • Environment and support: – If possible, it is best to have a friend or family member accompany you and keep an eye on your status at all times. – In addition, if you have an experienced nutritionist or health instructor to develop and supervise the fasting plan together, it will be safer. ──────────────────────────────── Once again, this is only a general reference plan. The specific details and duration need to be adjusted according to your health status, weight, lifestyle, and past fasting experience. Be sure to discuss this with a medical professional before you begin to confirm that this therapy is right for you and understand how to manage the various risks that may arise during the process. Hopefully, this rough plan will help you better understand the basic process of water fasting, while always keeping your safety and health first.
