Ten days of complete fasting affected subjective sensations but not cognitive abilities in healthy adults

ConclusionsOur study showed strong influences on the sensations from the third to sixth days of the prolonged fasting period but no significant effects on basic cognitive abilities associated with the energy substance switch. These findings could contribute to the development and understanding of survival strategies in food-shortage emergencies or of intermittent fasting programmes.
