Breaking a 10â15 day water fast requires a structured refeeding protocol to avoid serious risks like Refeeding Syndrome, digestive distress, blood sugar spikes, and cardiac stress. After prolonged fasting, the body is in a fragile state. Gradually reintroducing food helps the gut, pancreas, and electrolyte balance recover safely. A rushed return to normal eating can undo benefits and trigger life-threatening complications.
