Detailed explanation-1: -Starvation is a severe deficiency in caloric energy intake, below the level needed to maintain an organism’s life. It is the most extreme form of malnutrition. In humans, prolonged starvation can cause permanent organ damage and eventually, death.
Detailed explanation-2: -With no food and no water, the maximum time the body can survive is thought to be about one week . With water only, but no food, survival time may extend up to 2 to 3 months. Over time, a severely restricted food intake can reduce the lifespan.
Detailed explanation-3: -A severe lack of food for a prolonged period-not enough calories of any sort to keep up with the body’s energy needs-is starvation. The body’s reserve resources are depleted. The result is substantial weight loss, wasting away of the body’s tissues and eventually death.
Detailed explanation-4: -As a result of discontinuing eating, patients can die in as early as a few days. For most people, this period without food usually lasts about 10 days, but in rare instances, it can last several weeks.
