Fasting
text:
Fasting is abstention from eating, and sometimes drinking. However, from a purely physiological context, "fasting" may refer to the metabolic status of a person who has not eaten overnight, or to the metabolic state achieved after complete digestion and absorption of a meal. Metabolic changes in the fasting state begin after absorption of a meal. A diagnostic fast refers to prolonged fasting from 1–100 hours, conducted under observation, to facilitate the investigation of a health complication.
