Also known as fast

thumb|A glass of water on an empty plateFasting is the act of refraining 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 (before "breakfast"), 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 (typically 3–5 hours after eating).

AI overview

Fasting is the practice of refraining from eating, and sometimes drinking, for a period of time. From a physiological perspective, fasting refers to the metabolic state that occurs after a meal has been fully digested and absorbed—a process that typically begins 3–5 hours after eating—or simply the state of not having eaten overnight before breakfast.
