I’ve seen this practice mentioned numerous times lately. Not sure about the “no liquid” piece of it. I tried something like this awhile back, but I drank a blend of pineapple, cucumber, ginger, turmeric and lemon juice throughout the day and that helped me reduce joint inflammation which helped with my arthritis pain.

Recent research indicates that in the mornings there is an increase in heart attacks due to dehydration. This fast would increase that risk unless you hydrated upon rising

Because some quack says it is scientific everyone believes it.

Yr. Driveby; "Because some quack says it is scientific everyone believes it."

E.g. "I am science!" Fauci. (Science c'est Moi!)

And yet the skeptics here on FreeRepublic are constantly insulted and ridiculed for NOT automatically "believing the science." (Or the outright lies.)

Remember the Twitter “ER doctors” who claimed hordes of patients were dying daily of COVID? They were fake…

While you did not bother to ask me my view on this, I suspect this study was done more to show Ramadan in a positive way instead of something that results (as stated by a poster above and without citation on this thread ) higher rates of kidney failure in Middle eastern populations. (So maybe.) Ramadan Fasting during the Day is generally followed by binging with sweets and desserts after sunset to compensate for the daily fast. Probably better to have a big before sunrise meal than after sundown. (You have already provided your view on the subject and your belief that the doctors that published this are "quacks.")

Usually, Baylor College of Medicine research is pretty tight. I have a family member who works there.

Some Muslims do drink water during the day during Ramadan. I know only one Muslim. He says he does not drink any daytime water. Says he loses weight during Ramadan.

To be clear. I am not being dismissive of Baylor My Daughter has a medical condition for which Baylor has done a lot of outstanding research. (Baylor Blue Bird Circle Rett Center)
