Water fasting is a type of fast where a person consumes only water for a specific period, typically ranging from 24 hours to several days.
This practice has been used for centuries for spiritual, detoxification, and health purposes. Research suggests that water fasting may offer several health benefits when done safely and under proper guidance. It can help promote **autophagy**, a natural cellular process that removes damaged cells and regenerates healthier ones, potentially supporting longevity and disease prevention.
Water fasting may also improve **insulin sensitivity**, reduce **inflammation**, and support **weight loss** by allowing the body to burn stored fat for energy.
Additionally, it can give the digestive system a rest, leading to improved gut health and mental clarity.
However, water fasting should be approached with caution, especially for individuals with medical conditions, and ideally supervised by a healthcare professional.

Bullying No Way Week is a nationwide initiative aimed at raising awareness about the serious impact bullying can have on individuals and communities.
Bullying can cause long-term physical and mental health effects, including stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and reduced self-esteem, which may carry into adulthood.
It can also lead to social withdrawal, academic struggles, and in severe cases, self-harm.
Preventing bullying starts with fostering a culture of respect, empathy, and inclusion in schools, workplaces, and communities. This includes educating people about the signs of bullying, encouraging open communication, empowering bystanders to speak up, and ensuring strong policies and support systems are in place.
By working together, we can create safer, kinder environments where everyone feels valued and protected.
