Going without food for an extended period can lead to severe physical and mental health issues. Initially, the body uses stored glycogen for energy, but once that's depleted, it begins to break down fat and muscle for fuel. Prolonged fasting can result in malnutrition, weakened immune function, organ damage, and eventually, death if starvation continues. Additionally, cognitive functions may decline, leading to confusion and impaired decision-making.
