Dry fasting is a type of quick detoxification of the body. This type of cleanse typically requires abstinence from all food and water. It is generally considered to be the most effective and most difficult type of fasting cleanses. Fasting is used both as a weight-loss tool and to cleanse the body of impurities.
In some contexts, fasting allows the consumption of a limited amount of low-calorie beverages such as coffee or tea. One form of intermittent fasting, alternate day fasting (ADF), involves a 24-hour fast followed by a 24-hour non-fasting period. This is sometimes referred to as every other day fasting or every other day feeding. Alternate-day calorie restriction may prolong life span.
