In modern post-industrial society, the problem of hunger has not disappeared.
And rarely does anyone think about what happens to a person who has no food, writes Naked Science.
The publication reports that a person will be able to live 70 days without food. For comparison, without water, the body can survive from 3 to 8 days, and without air – 5-10 minutes. Nor should we assume that hunger makes a person helpless: evolution has done everything possible to ensure that the body has enough potential to survive and seek sustenance even in the hungriest years. However, prolonged starvation leads to devastating consequences, so to conduct such experiments on yourself is still not worth it.
