Why Andie Chen Went 78 Hours Without Food
8 Days
|August 16, 2018
The actor recently went on a three-day water fast, purportedly for health benefits. But is it too extreme for everyone?
8 DAYS: You recently went on a three-day fast where you only drank water the whole time. Sounds pretty intense.
ANDIE CHEN: I did it ’cos I’m unhealthy. (Laughs) I haven’t been officially diagnosed — ’cos it’s hard to get a diagnosis — but I’m pretty sure I have an autoimmune disease and it’s always been very difficult for me throughout my career. That was one of the main reasons I left [Mediacorp] — my body couldn’t keep up with the workload. After I left, I decided I needed to make some adjustments for my health. A friend who’s a functional medicine practitioner recommended that I do a water fast.
What are the benefits of water fasting?
There are a lot of benefits when you do a water fast. Basically, when you fast, your body goes into repair mode and starts detoxing. It’s an alternative cancer treatment that’s very popular. One of the main things people use it for is [to manage] very severe diseases. When you stop eating, your body stops growing all these cancerous cells — they have nothing to grow on so they actually reduce in size.
Is this your first time doing a water fast?
