When you are fasting, you are encouraged to drink more water to stay hydrated.
In short, every metabolic reaction in the body leads to the loss of water. Since the body is made up of water, any loss of it needs to be replaced as often as possible for the body to keep functioning correctly. This is one of the reasons why it is encouraged to stay hydrated even if a person is fasting.
BENEFITS OF DRINKING WATER

3. Flushes Out Toxins
Gets rid of waste through sweat and urination which reduces the risk of kidney stones and UTI’s (urinary tract infections).
