40 Nutrients: There are 40 essential nutrients that you need every day: 13 vitamins, 15 minerals, 10 Amino Acids (from protein) and 2 fatty acids. If you consume only water, there are cells somewhere in your body that starve to death every day, until eventually you die. Rather than a water fast, use a reputable meal replacement formula like ensure, boost or glucerna.
