一年不喝水后,女子感觉自己更健康了
近日,一位声称已一年没有喝水的营养学家在网上引发了争议:她认为长期的干禁食大大改善了自己的健康状况与幸福水平。
35岁的Sophie Partik过去经常遭受关节疼痛、眼睛浮肿、食物过敏、皮肤不好以及消化问题所困扰,但她声称自己开始干禁食之后,所有这些问题都消失得一干二净了。她每天可以长达13-14个小时都不摄入任何液体,即使当她摄入液体时,也只是摄入水果汁和蔬菜汁等活水。
目前,她不摄入任何液体的最长期限为52个小时,但她梦想有一天可以干禁食长达10天。Sophie已经一年都没有喝过瓶装水或水龙头水,并声称对水的需求仅限于我们的脑海里,而且需要耐心去克服对水的欲望。
这位营养学家目前居住在巴厘岛,她表示自己的脸部和关节曾经极度肿胀,而且还有浮肿,但是医生总是告诉她这没什么问题,如果她想减轻眼部浮肿的话应该去做整容手术。然而有一天,在一位朋友建议她尝试干禁食之后,她几乎立刻就看到了自己的积极变化,于是便开始进行更多的研究。
Sophie对此表示:“喝瓶装水和水龙头水实际上会使肾脏过度劳累,并将所有营养物质冲出体外。你并不需要水来保持水分充足,这实际上只会使你感到肿胀。当你开始干禁食时,很快就会意识到自己的身体并不需要水”。
Sophie同时承认,干禁食并不适合每个人,甚至连她的家人在一段时期内都很难接受并理解她的无水生活方式。有一次,他们甚至问她是否加入了邪教,而这位营养学家表示自己现在已经放弃解释了。
目前,Sophie在Instagram上拥有17000多个追随者,她建议想尝试干禁食的人在开始之前,先吃几天水果和果汁为身体打好基础。

Woman Hasn’t Drunk Water in a Year, Claims It Made Her Healthier
A nutritionist who claims to not have consumed any water for a year has sparked controversy online by suggesting that her long-term dry fast has greatly improved her health and well-being.
35-year-old Sophie Partik used to suffer aching joints, puffy eyes, food allergies, bad skin and digestive issues, but claims that all these problems went away when she started dry-fasting. She doesn’t touch any liquids for 13-14 hours a day, and when she does it’s only living water, like the juice of fruits and vegetables. The most she has gone without any liquids was 52 hours, but she dreams of the day when she will be able to dry fast for 10 days. Sophie hasn’t drunk bottled or faucet water in a year, and claims that the need for water is only in our heads.
it takes patience to overcome our desires,” Partik said. “At the beginning it’s hard but then It’s very releasing, it’s the best psychotherapy, instead of eating and drinking I have so much time to focus on other things.”
The nutritionist, who currently lives in Bali, said that she had extreme swelling in her face and joints, as well as puffiness, but doctors always told her that there was nothing wrong with her and that if she wanted to look less puffy around the eyes she should get plastic surgery. But then one day a friend suggested that she try dry fasting and she saw the positive changes almost immediately.
“Pretty much straight away the puffiness started to get better so I wanted to research a bit more,” the 35-year-old told Caters News. “I have been looking for answers all my life and I thought that the universe’s way of sending them to me.”
“Drinking bottled water and water from the faucet actually makes your kidneys overwork and flushes all the nutrients out of your body,” Sophie added. “You don’t need water to stay hydrated, it really just makes you feel bloated. When you start dry fasting, you soon realize your body doesn’t need water.”
Sophie Partik admits that dry fasting isn’t for everyone, adding that even her family has had a tough time accepting and understanding her water-free lifestyle. At one point, they asked her if she was in a cult, but the nutritionist says that she has stopped trying to explain herself.
Partik, who has over 17,000 followers on Instagram, advises people who want to try dry fasting to first get their bodies ready with with fruits and juices a few days before starting.
