It is use as a source of energy. When the amount of sugar in the blood is reduce or the body lacks nutrients, the liver will change glycogen into “glucose”.

After the body has been using it continuously until it runs out, the body will break down fat or pull out fat from our body to use, calling this “ketone”, which is like a sugar molecule. If the process of lacking nutrients continues until the body has used up all parts, it will start to pull out muscle and protein to use as a replacement.

daily nutrition.

If a person lacks nutrients, they can live for about 6-8 weeks. We must distinguish between whether we lack nutrients and whether we lack water as well. Because when the body lacks water, it generally cannot survive for more than 1-2 weeks. Because if we lack water continuously, we will not be able to urinate, waste products in the body will accumulate more. Which may cause kidney failure, low blood pressure, or even shock and death.

Finally, when we start eating again, we must choose to eat food that is ready to be absorb. Such as gel food that is ready to adjust the intestines so that it can be absorb immediately after eating. Eat continuously like this for about 4-7 days to allow the body to adjust by creating new cells. And return to digesting or absorbing food on its own.

However, we must limit the types of food and the amount each day to be appropriate by gradually increasing the food intake step by step. It should not be food that is too spicy. We should also observe the symptoms to see if the body has loose stools. If there is still loose stools, it means that the body is not ready to digest and absorb.
