How long could you survive without food or water?

How long can a human survive without food or water? In theory, when you finally run out of body fat, protein and carbohydrates, your body runs out of energy and stops functioning.

The longest recorded starvation was by the Irish hunger-striker Kieran Doherty in 1981, who died after fasting for 73 days. With a supply of vitamins and water, people have been known to survive over a year without eating. “It used to be a very fashionable way of losing weight around 30 years ago,” says Powell-Tuck. A human can be expected to survive for weeks without food, but a thirsty person deprived of water would last a matter of days.

Video Games Cause Cavities

Not only do video games cause childhood obesity, diabetes, aggression, homicidal tendencies and venereal diseases, you can add cavities to the list now as well. It’s a miracle that video games don’t cause you to spontaneously burst into flames when you hit “start game.”

New research suggests snacking while playing computer and video games could be responsible for poor levels of oral health among young teenagers. The study suggests gamers who spend substantial amounts of time at the screen are more than twice as likely to develop tooth decay and caries as those with more active lifestyles.
