Is It Possible To Survive For A Day Without Food And Water?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...A Danish boy of 3 years old - lost in a forest for 24 hours without water and food- found and seemingly in good health, seems impossible to me, but the news calls it a miracle. Can this be true?

HI
Well come to HCM
Human being can survive without water and food for more than three days it all depends upon the loss of water from the body if this is too rapid then one can day before the average survival rate, hope this helps.
