I must warn you before we start this episode. We are going to talk about hunger and how it can harm your body. Like all if this is a thought-provoking experience based on data from our sources linked below. Please, don't try this in real life.
You are so hungry you can't pay attention. Every sound comes under your skin. And it's not even noon yet.
So how do you spend a month without food?
Can your heart stop beating?
What will happen to your brain? And will you be hungry all the time?
For many, hunger is a reality. While our planet has the resources to feed us all, 16.6% of the world's population suffers from malnutrition. But this experience is not a waste of food or protest. No, we are taking your food and closing it for a month.
And it will be difficult for you because the human body needs at least 1,800 calories a day to survive. Try to think of yourself as a machine. If you run out of fuel, you may break. But once you start eating again, can you go into a coma? Taste this last bite. You won't get another for a month. Let's begin.
Right now, your body is making glucose from your last meal. All this energy will be enough to feed your cells and brain. But not for long. If you feel unwell again, take care of yourself. This slight desire can turn you into a monster.
12 hours later
At this point, your body has run out of glucose for a long time. With low blood sugar levels, you may become irritable or angry. Or hang, if you will. And you won't like me when I'm hungry. Your system will break down excess body fat and start a process called ketosis to produce energy to make up for the lack of nutrients. These fatty acids will travel to your liver and fuel your body, which will help you lose weight. But this weight loss will have an amazing effect.
3 days later
By now, your body will start cabling itself. This transition, called ketoacidosis, converts your muscle tissue into glucose. Amino acids can start feeding your heart alive so that your other systems can work. Your heart can go out at any time. Now the real trouble can begin.
Week one
As your body uses itself, you will lose weight faster. If you lose 18% of your actual weight, you may have difficulty breathing and may go out often. Because your brain will not get the energy it needs, you will always feel tired and decent. You may also have an epileptic seizure. That knot in your stomach will get worse. Do you have to eat this in front of me?
Week three
If you stay hydrated you can still survive. Just barely. Without any nutrients, you may experience severe pain. Your heartbeat may be erratic, and you may be deluded. But at this point, hunger may be the least of your worries.
Because you are deficient in vitamins, your body will not have the strength to fight against immune-related diseases. Any contact with airborne viruses or bacteria can kill you. So stay in quarantine. You only have one week left.
Week four
If you have made it so far. Congratulations on escaping potential limb failure, strong mood swings and crippling fatigue. But don't rush into the buffet yet.
Once you start eating again, your body can quickly make insulin to adjust the nutrients that come back into your bloodstream. And you will not have a healthy level of electrolytes.
So if you celebrate with all your favorite foods at once, it can lead to heart failure or put you in a coma. And this is if you are lucky. Increased levels of insulin can also kill you. Depriving your body of food for a long time will not be the only extreme food. It can be a death sentence. When you are ready to eat again, your appetite may be stronger than before.
