“I am feeding on your solidarity every day. Thank you very much for the beautiful messages, books, flowers, videos, mobilization, for everything … I cannot be silent because I fight with those and those who are hungry for justice,” he said.
Until this Tuesday, 15, 6 days Since the parliamentarian went on hunger strike. The deputy team said he is only ingesting liquids and is receiving follow -up. Has already lost 4 kg.
The doctor Elaine Dias JkPhD in endocrinology at the University of San Paolo (USP) and the metabologist, explains that prolonged fasting, such as Glauber Braga, can lead to health risks.
“By interrupting the diet, the body initially uses glycogen reserves (a form of sugar and sugary sugar muscles), which lasts a maximum of two days. After which, we use fat as a source of energy, producing ketone bodies that make glyconeogenesis. This is a natural adaptation mechanism that allows the brain to continue working”, says.
According to the expert, this process has limits and, during the days, the individual can present Intense weakness, dizziness, fainting and cognitive changes.
“After a few days of absolute fasting or ingestion of non -calorie liquids, the body begins to consume muscle mass, including the heart, which compromises the function of various organs. There are historical recordings of people who have resisted hunger for weeks, but almost always with serious sequences,” he says.
Among the medium and long term consequences that a hunger strike can cause Neuropathy, myopathy, liver changes, hormonal disorders and even failure of multiple organs.
“In addition, there is a little -known risk called feedback syndrome. After prolonged fasting, a simple food reintroduction can trigger a sharp fall of phosphorus in the blood, cardiac arrhythmias and even death. This is because the metabolism, not used to the presence of glucose, collapses when trying to resume its functioning”, reports.
Dr. Elaine also warns that the intake of fluids, also containing electrolytes, is not enough to avoid health risks caused by fasting.
“It may delay some complications, but does not prevent progressive organic dysfunction. The episodes of syncope are common after a few days of absolute fasting, especially in orthostatic positions (standing or sitting) for hypovolemia. Therefore, although it is possible to remain aware for several days, it occurs at the expense of important functional difficulties”, underlines.
The expert highlights the systemic complications This can influence the human body in case of prolonged fasting, especially after Second week of hunger strike. I am:
- Myopathy and peripheral neuropathythrough malnutrition of the caloric protein and vitamin B deficiency (in particular B1 and B12);
- Liver and pancreatic dysfunctionWith the risk of raising liver enzymes, glucose intolerance and change in response to insulin;
- Gastrointestinal atrophy and dismantilitywith bad tolerance to food reintroduction;
- Feedback syndromePotentially fatal conditions caused by a rapid caloric reintroduction, with severe hypofosphatemia, arrhythmias and hemodynamic collapse;
- Suppression of hormonal axes and beyond accelerated bone loss.
