There is a study about what happens to the body during a seven-day water fast. Researchers found that people lost weight and their bodies changed in a good way. The study shows that fasting can be healthy for the body, but it’s important to do it safely. The researchers watched 12 people who fasted for a week. They saw that the body uses its own fat for energy when there is no food. This can lead to weight loss. Fasting can have health benefits, but it may not be good for sick people. The study hopes to help develop treatments based on the benefits of fasting.
