By addressing issues every day, and providing access to care when patients need it, unnecessary emergency department visits are minimized and overall health is improved. PHN is a partnership between Geisinger hospitals, its primary care network, and its insurer, Geisinger Health Plan (GHP).
We can't live on air and sunshine alone. The human body needs food and water to survive. A human can go for more than three weeks without food (Mahatma Gandhi survived 21 days of complete starvation), but water is a different story. At least 60% of the adult body is made of it and every living cell in the body needs it to keep functioning.
The number of days you can survive without food varies from person to person. A 2009 review in âArchiv Fur Kriminologieâ reports that humans can generally survive with no food or drink for eight to 21 days and may be able to survive without food, if they have water, for up to two months.
