CAUTION
Always be cautious when fasting. Those with underlying health issues should be extra careful.
In fact, if you take lots of medicine and have multiple health issues you should not fast.
Be careful not to get dangerously dehydrated.
Those living in hot climes should proceed with caution. People living in hot states like Texas and other hot places should hydrate with water mostly. Stay away from sweet drinks.
Intermittent Fasting
It's okay to fast intermittently, but do it sensibly. Eat healthy, fruits, vegetables, lots of water. Stay away from sweets. You get to determine how long you fast and when you eat.
